IROC’s radiotherapy (RT) credentialing program will improve protocol compliance through its tiered credentialing approach that emphasizes efficiency and protocol adaptability. While credentialing requirements will change with evolving treatment techniques and modalities, in the near term they may require:

Demonstration of a site’s ability to send electronic RT data to IROC and, as applicable, completion of:

• A Web-based protocol knowledge assessment
• Benchmark cases demonstrating treatment planning capabilities and implementation of appropriate dosimetry parameters
• End-to-end phantom irradiation study to assess the entire treatment process for a specific treatment modality
• Image-guided RT (IGRT) study to assure site personnel can properly implement protocol-specific instructions for using IGRT
