The development of a tool to evaluate prescribers’ documentation in relation to theRPS competency framework

摘要

It had been identified that the radiotherapy treatment review team at a UK hospital — comprising nine review radiographers, four of whomwere also non-medical prescribers (NMPs) — did not have a consistent approach to documenting prescribing. In response, a qualityimprovement project was instigated to design a simple audit tool using criteria taken from the RPS competency framework. The project also aimed to provide opportunities for peer-to-peer discussion, continuing professional development and to evidence on goingprescribing competence.
