How Do Accreditation Bodies Evaluate Cancer Care Facilities?
Accreditation bodies typically use a variety of methods to evaluate cancer care facilities, including:
- Site Visits: Inspectors visit the facility to assess its infrastructure, processes, and patient care methods. - Patient Outcome Data: Facilities must provide data on patient outcomes to demonstrate the effectiveness of their treatments. - Quality Improvement Programs: Facilities are required to have ongoing quality improvement programs that monitor and enhance their cancer care services. - Staff Credentials: Accreditation bodies review the qualifications and ongoing education of the medical and support staff.
