ASTRO has developed the Performance Assessment for the Advancement of Radiation Oncology Treatment program, which has been approved by the American Board of Radiology as a Type 2 PQI project. PAAROT involves periodic chart review and reporting on measures, which are compared to a database of peer responses, expert consensus and evidence-based guidelines. Based upon this comparison, the physician is asked to select one measure to improve upon and make that the focus of that PQI project. In order to complete the PAAROT program, the radiation oncologist will write a brief description of the change that will be implemented that should result in the alignment of the selected measurement with the national average. After a period of re-measurement, the physician will submit a conclusion as to whether or not the desired change in outcomes resulted.

Don't miss this opportunity to contribute to developing national databases relevant to radiation oncology.
