The 2024 ASCO Quality Care Symposium took place on September 27-28, 2024, in San Francisco, California.

The event brought together leaders from the quality care community to discuss advancements in cancer care quality. Attendees engaged in presentations, collaborative discussions, and networking opportunities, all aimed at enhancing cancer-focused quality care.

Participants submitted abstracts to showcase their research related to oncology quality care. The symposium featured various tracks for exploring specific areas of interest in quality improvement and patient care, serving as a vital platform for professionals committed to advancing cancer treatment standards.

Here are some highlights from the event:

Fumiko Ladd Chino:

“Dr. Trisha Santos starts Day 2 ASCOQLTY24: ‘The Winding Road to Equitable Care: Evidence-Based Approaches in a Time of Political Divide’ anchoring this educational session on our true north… how do we provide quality, evidence based care to all patients with cancer.”

Ryan Huey:

“Dr. Anne Montgomery of Penn Medicine discussing the timing of serious illness conversation. Raises the great point that phased serious illness conversations are often not documented well. Phased conversations build a critical foundation.”

Jason Westin:

“Grateful to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) for an outstanding ASCOQLTY24 meeting!

I had the opportunity to discuss the ongoing crisis of cancer drug shortages and the critical advocacy efforts led by ASCO and others to find lasting solutions. So much valuable insight and data shared—don’t miss out! Check out the full program here.”

Natasha Steele:

“Another ASCO highlight – getting the chance to meet patient advocate and all around all-star Megsie and hear her ideas to change the game with survivorship.”

Jolyn Taylor:

“Love seeing the strong work in quality of care for our patients at ASCOQLTY24, MD Anderson Cancer Center.

How do we achieve hospital throughput without compromising quality? Check out these studies to learn our approach.”

Anh Lam:

“An ASCOQLTY24 highlight- getting to take a pic with a champion in the field – Jeffrey Peppercorn!! Very thankful to work with you and to learn from you!”

Fumiko Ladd Chino:

“Dr. Eric Roeland, ASCOQLTY24

‘We need to reassess and prioritize how systems can optimize the support for patients as people living with cancer based on their needs, not prognosis.’ ”

Anh Lam:

“It was so refreshing to see Debra Lundquist in person and present our works on early phase clinical trial participants together!! So grateful for the opportunity to learn from this amazing team!”

Manisha Bhattacharya:

“Packed room at ASCOQLTY24 here in SF!

Manali Patel asking tough Q’s about the intention +lof patient navigation programs. I agree with her that navigation is an (essential) band-aid on a clunky healthcare system. We owe it to pts to adapt programs to local context and prove value to payers/orgs.”

Ryan Huey:

“Kerin Adelson of MD Anderson Cancer Center reports on systemic therapy at the end of life. Hospitalizations and ER visits 2.5x higher for those on systemic therapy. Higher rates of ICU utilization, lower chances of utilizing hospice.”

Stacey Tinianov:

“Intended to send this earlier when I expected to be standing alone by a poster for 90mins. As it turned out, I spoke nonstop for over 100 minutes and am now late to session. Hey, Advocates for Collaborative Education (ACE) – our research was a huge hit at ASCOQLTY24 and we’ve got a few new partners!”

Isabel Preeshagul:

“Standing ovation for Ethan Basch at ASCOQLTY24!

Love the last slide, inspiring that while there are issues clouding the sun, we can still see it in the not too far distance. We are ‘just at the verge of the golden age in quality cancer care!’ ”

Latinas In Medicine:

“Exciting start with these sessions at ASCOQLTY24. Met up with Narjust Florez to learn more about the different views on patient navigators, and the intricacies of implementing these programs in healthcare systems.”

Florez Lab:

” ‘This healthcare system doesn’t do well with young people, they aren’t taking care of my needs’ At ASCOQLTY24 Dr. Jacob Newton Stein touches on the importance of of building AYA cancer support programs! AYAs are a ‘distinct population with higher clinical needs’. ”

Fumiko Ladd Chino:

“Margaret Kelsey Kirkwood, ASCO presents at ASCOQLTY24 on how new abortion restrictions affect the oncology workforce.

1 in 3 trainees felt restrictions impacted their ability to provide high-quality cancer care.

51% (but more women then men) felt it would factor into their job decision.”

Larry Buie:

“Final day at ASCOQLTY24! Always a great meeting for those passionate about quality care for patients living with cancer. Highlighting work by HOPARX, Benyam Muluneh, Shawna Kraft, Katie Sias Monica Chintapenta. Emily Mackler, Shannon Hough we missed you!”

Ryan Huey:

“Dr. Chris Manz giving a master class on cancer care delivery in prisons. Huge opportunity to close gaps for this patient population and improve outcomes.”

Joseph McCollom:

“As ASCOQLTY24 wraps up, key insights remind us of the power of tech and team science for patient-centered care
From ePROs needing action to the crucial role of digital support in #smokingcessation, it’s clear: tech can empower but must be accessible to all.
