Comprehensive Audits of Radiotherapy Practices: a Tool for Quality Improvement : Quality Assurance Team for Radiation Oncology (QUATRO)

The objective of a comprehensive clinical audit is to review and evaluate the quality of all components of the practice of radiotherapy at a cancer centre, with a view to quality improvement. The present guidelines provide an audit methodology for multidisciplinary expert teams to initiate, perform and report on such audits. These guidelines have already been field tested by IAEA teams in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
