The mission of The College is to promote the science of Radiation Oncology, improve oncologic services to patients, study the socioeconomic aspects of the practice of Radiation Oncology and encourage continuing education in Radiation Oncology and its allied professional fields.
The objective of the ACRO Practice Accreditation review is to ascertain that the equipment, staff, policies, procedures and treatment programs of the Radiation Oncology practice meet accepted standards of modern day radiation therapy delivered in the U.S. The survey and data analysis are conducted by board certified Radiation Oncologists and Radiation Physicists active in ACRO's Practice Accreditation Program. Each professional practice is examined for quality and efficiency of patient care, as well as, appropriateness of radiation therapy equipment, professional performance and staffing levels. The reviewers report their findings to the ACRO for final approval and accreditation.
