Clinical audits are an important tool to objectively assess clinical protocols, procedures, and processes and to detect deviations from good clinical practice. The main aim of this project is to determine adherence to a core set of consensus- based quality indicators and then to compare the institutions in order to identify best practices.
We conduct a multicentre, international clinical audit of six comprehensive cancer centres in Poland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, and Romania as a part of the project, known as IROCATES (Improving Quality in Radiation Oncology through Clinical Audits - Training and Education for Standardization).
Radiotherapy practice varies from country to country, in part due to historical, economic, linguistic, and cultural differences. The institutions developed their own processes to suit their existing clinical practice.
We believe that this study will contribute to establishing the value of routinely performing multi-institutional clinical audits and will lead to improvement of radiotherapy practice at the participating centres.
临床审计是客观评估临床方案、程序和流程以及发现偏离良好临床实践情况的重要工具。本项目的主要目的是确定对一套基于共识的核心质量指标的遵守情况,然后对各机构进行比较以找出最佳实践方法。
作为名为IROCATES(通过临床审计提高放射肿瘤学质量——标准化培训与教育)项目的一部分,我们对波兰、西班牙、意大利、葡萄牙、法国和罗马尼亚的六个综合癌症中心进行了多中心国际临床审计。
放疗实践因国家而异,部分原因是历史、经济、语言和文化差异。各机构制定了自己的流程以适应其现有的临床实践。
我们认为本研究将有助于确立常规开展多机构临床审计的价值,并将促使参与中心的放疗实践得到改善。
