This document provides guidance for radiation treatment programs on how they can incorporate patient education techniques, tools and resources into their programs to ensure that patients and family members are adequately and appropriately educated in their care.
The statements included are intended to be tools that, if implemented, will provide regional centres with a sense of the degree of accountability and success with which they are approaching patient education.
The Patient Education Guidance for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs document compliments, and should be considered in conjunction with, the CPQR’s Patient Engagement Guidelines for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs (PEG), a set of guidelines advocating for patient engagement at the patient care, programs, and systems levels.
The document is one in a suite of guideline documents created by the CPQR. When considered together, these documents address all aspects of quality and safety related to radiation treatment delivery.
