A Pan-Canadian Approach to Patient-Centered Quality Improvement Initiatives: The Canadian Partnership for Quality in Radiotherapy (CPQR) ’s Development of Patient Education, Engagement and Patient Reported Outcome Guidance Document

In 2011 the Canadian Partnership for Quality in Radiotherapy (CPQR) released its seminal document Quality Assurance Guidelines for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs outlining the overarching elements of quality that are important in all radiation treatment (RT) programs. Since that time, there has been an interest expressed by the radiotherapy community to expand upon these guidelines with an increased emphasis on the patient focus which would promote alignment with accreditation standards and patient-centred practice.
