General Evaluation Indicators for Radiotherapy after a First Clinical Audit. English Version. (Indicatori Gerali di Valutazione per Radioterapia alla Luce di un Primo Audit Clinico. Versione Inglese).

摘要

In the framework of projects of the Italian Ministry of the Health on continuous quality improvement in radiotherapy, one of the objectives was the development of a voluntary program of accreditation by selecting and defining a restricted number of general evaluation indicators. The intercomparison on these indicators among 15 Centres of Radiotherapy and relative Health Physics Departments is described. A database was created with the collected data. The indicators were then modified taking into account the difficulties arising during the data collection. Modified indicators are reported.
