Purpose: Recent reports of medical errors in radiaKon treatment delivery have emphasized the importance of quality assurance (QA) pracKces. Strict guidelines exist for medical physics QA, but not for QA procedures as applied to clinicians. We sought to document how clinical quality assurance (QA) meeKngs or “chart rounds” are performed across academic North American RadiaKon Oncology departments.
