Advanced Physics for Brachytherapy 2018

Take Home Message

• QMP is a complex, systems concept

• QMP contains many familiar items – coordination is key

• Many societal guidelines available for brachytherapy QMP elements

• QMP should be specific to equipment and department – no “template” QMP, only guidance – regular, independent departmental review is desirable

• Forms help formalize QMP goals and make tasks consistent

• e-forms provide robust documentation, but can be altered

• Balance tension of form constancy and form advancements

• TG-100 and international error databases may alter current QMP focus
