CPQR is a standing committee of the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><br \/>\nThe CPQR Key Quality Indicators (KQI) were originally developed between 2011 and 2015 to<br \/>\nsupport consistent measurement and continuous quality improvement across radiation therapy<br \/>\nprograms in Canada. Since their development, clinical practice has evolved significantly,<br \/>\nincluding the adoption of new technologies, advances in treatment techniques, and the<br \/>\nemergence of new models of care delivery.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these changes, there is a need to review and update the KQI framework to ensure it remains relevant, feasible, and aligned with current practice across jurisdictions. This includes considering how indicators can better reflect contemporary workflows, support meaningful quality improvement, and remain practical for implementation across diverse clinical settings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working Group Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this working group is to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review existing CPQR Key Quality Indicators in the context of current clinical practice Identify gaps where updates or new indicators may be required<\/li>\n<li>Ensure alignment with modern technologies, treatment techniques, and models of care<\/li>\n<li>Support the development of updated, practical, and measurable indicators that enable quality improvement across radiation therapy programs<\/li>\n<li>Provide recommendations for implementation considerations and future maintenance of the KQI framework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working Group Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Members will be expected to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Participate in several virtual meetings over the course of approximately one year<\/li>\n<li>Provide input and feedback electronically between meetings<\/li>\n<li>Review and comment on draft materials in a timely manner<\/li>\n<li>Contribute subject matter expertise from clinical, technical, operational, or quality perspectives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expression of Interest<\/strong><br \/>\nWe are seeking participation from individuals with expertise in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Radiation Oncology<\/li>\n<li>Medical Physics<\/li>\n<li>Radiation Therapy<\/li>\n<li>Quality and Program Evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Radiation Oncology Informatics or Health System Performance Measurement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To Apply<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interested individuals are invited to submit a brief expression of interest outlining:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current role and area of expertise<\/li>\n<li>Relevant experience with quality indicators, standards, or program evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Interest in contributing to this work<\/li>\n<li>Any prior involvement with CPQR or related initiatives<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please submit expressions of interest by June 12, 2026 to Kristi MacKenzie <a href=\"mailto:kmackenzie@capca.ca\">kmackenzie@capca.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate your consideration of this opportunity to contribute to the ongoing evolution of national quality standards in radiation oncology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call for Expression of Interest \u2013 Working Group to Update Radiotherapy Key Quality\u00a0 Indicators (KQI) The Canadian Partnership for Quality Radiotherapy (CPQR), is seeking Expressions of Interest\u00a0 (EOI) from individuals [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nouvelles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62318"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62319,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62318\/revisions\/62319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrt.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
