This cancer\u2010focused quality initiative evolved considerably over the next decade\u2010and\u2010a\u2010half and is expanding globally. QOPI is undoubtedly the leading standard\u2010bearer for quality cancer care and contemporary medical oncology practice. The program garners attention and respect among federal programs, private insurers, and medical oncology practices across the nation. The MaineHealth Cancer Care Network (MHCCN) has undergone expansive growth since 2017. The network provides cancer care to more than 70% of the cases in Maine in a largely rural health system in Northern New England. In fall 2020, the MHCCN QOPI project leadership, following collaborative discussions with the ASCO\u2010QOPI team, elected to proceed with a health system\u2013cancer network\u2010wide QOPI certification. Key themes emerged over the course of our two\u2010year journey including: (1) Developing a highly interprofessional team committed to the project; (2) Capitalizing on a single electronic medical record for data transmission to CancerLinQ; (3) Prior experience, especially policy development, in other cancer\u2010focused accreditation programs across the network; and (4) Building consensus through quarterly stakeholder meetings and awarding Continuing Medical Education (CME) and American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits to oncologists. All participants demonstrated a genuine spirit to work together to achieve certification. We report our successful journey seeking ASCO\u2010QOPI certification across our network, which to our knowledge is the <jats:italic>first\u2010of\u2010its\u2010kind<\/jats:italic>
