Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
[Evaluation of time, attendance of medical staff, and resources during stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery : QUIRO-DEGRO Trial].
The German Society of Radiation Oncology ("Deutsche Gesellschaft für Radioonkologie", DEGRO) initiated a multicenter trial to develop and evaluate adequate modules to assert core processes and subprocesses in radiotherapy. The aim of this prospective evaluation was to methodical assess the required resources (technical equipment and medical staff) for stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery. ⋯ For the first time, the resource requirements for a radiotherapy department for the maintenance, protection and optimization of operational readiness for the application of intra- and extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy was determined methodically.
