Guidelines for radiation therapy
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5264031
Guidelines for radiation therapy services are presented in order to further community understanding of radiation therapy services and their delivery in southeastern Wisconsin; to meet planning needs for the organization, distribution, and coordination of such services; to encourage improvements in the provision of service while discouraging their inappropriate proliferation; and to support efficiency in their operation without infringing upon sound medical practice. The guidelines were developed in 1973 by a committee of 16 radiation oncologists and radiologists practicing therapy in southeastern Wisconsin. In 1976, a committee of 12 representatives of each of the principle hospitals in the radiation therapy network reviewed and revised the guidelines. The areas affected by the guidelines include: consultation and the referring physician; radiotherapy facility types and their overall evolution; facility size; the number and distribution of facilities; personnel requirements; radiation sources such as cobalt and linear accelerators; supporting facilities such as data storage and retrieval; inpatient facilities; training programs; research programs; and organizational considerations such as a cancer registry. Policies for areawide planning and the application of the guidelines are also proposed. Tabular data pertaining to the hospitals in the region are appended.
