This document, entitled “Patient Engagement Guidance for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs” (PEG) provides guidance on activities radiation treatment programs can incorporate into their programs to ensure that patients and family members are adequately and appropriately engaged in activities related to the quality and safety of the care they receive.
The statements included are not intended to be benchmarks or measurements for compliance, but rather tools that, if implemented, give centres a sense of the degree of success with which they are approaching patient engagement.
The PEG document compliments, and should be considered in conjunction with, CPQR’s Quality Assurance Guidelines for Canadian Radiation Treatment Programs document, the overarching elements of quality that are important in all radiation treatment programs, together with key quality indicators for periodic self-assessment and quality improvement.
