American Society For Therapeutic Radiology And Oncology Launches Online Practice Quality Improvement Project

The American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology launched its Performance Assessment for the Advancement of Radiation Oncology Treatment (PAAROT) program on April 1 as a way for ASTRO members to satisfy the American Board of Radiology's Maintenance of Certification program requirements.

PAAROT was fully qualified as meeting the ABR's criteria for a Type-2 Practice Quality Improvement project in October 2007, and will allow participating physicians to analyze their strengths and areas that need improvement, as well as receive feedback on where specific changes can be made in their practices - all online. A practice inventory will then be compiled from which participants will select a minimum of one area to improve upon, which will be the focus of their PQI project.
