Colorectal Cancer Quality Measures

Cleveland Clinic is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) which was developed through a collaboration between the OSTRiCh Consortium (Optimizing the Surgical Treatment of Rectal Cancer) and the Commission on Cancer (CoC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons.
