Systemic Treatment – Quality-Based Procedure (ST-QBP)

The Systemic Treatment – Quality Based Program (ST-QBP) manages funding for the delivery of outpatient systemic treatment services based on evidence-informed practice. The program was developed in collaboration with clinical experts and administrative leaders from across the province.

This best-practice approach aligns with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s direction for Health System Funding Reform. The province’s new patient-centred model ties funding more directly to the quality care that patients need and will be provided to them. It also uses limited resources more efficiently. This approach leads to a sustainable healthcare system based on equitable access to high-quality care.

Funding information is included in the CCO Drug Formulary regimens. Select a link in the table for a list of ST-QBP-funded regimens for that disease site and intent. For details about the regimen and cycle frequency, view the relevant regimen monograph page.
