eviQ Features:
Quality cancer treatment information
As the number and type of new drugs to treat cancer increases rapidly, prescribing and administering cancer treatments is becoming more complex. eviQ provides the most up-to-date evidence-based treatment information through the provision of more than 600 cancer treatment protocols.
Evidence-based and peer-reviewed
Content development for eviQ follows a strict governance process. More than 600 of Australia’s top cancer clinicians freely give their time to develop and review the eviQ content; ensuring it remains accurate, current and relevant.
Equitable access—anytime, anywhere
Accessed free of charge, eviQ allows teams of health professionals, patients and their carers access to the same high standard of evidence-based information.
Using eviQ, health professionals can be sure they are providing the best cancer care using the latest evidence-based treatments and safety standards; and all those affected by cancer have access to the same quality information and receive the very best treatment.
eviQ education - online modules
Intended for health professionals, these evidence-based, online blended education resources are designed to support the development of knowledge and skills in the safe delivery of cancer treatment, patient assessment and patient management.
Global reach
Already highly trusted by health professionals, patients and policy makers, eviQ has the ability to lessen the impact of cancer globally by partnering with organisations that are influencing cancer control across the world. Work is underway to highlight on the eviQ website which protocols can be delivered using the oncology medicines included in the World Health Organisation (WHO) list of essential medicines.
“I have had the privilege of seeing the positive influence of eviQ on clinical practice and patient outcomes over a long period of time… It is the best example I know which truly showcases what cancer health professionals can deliver for a public good”
