Abstract
The American College of Radiation Oncology Practice Accreditation Program (ACRO PAP) is a process by which a medical practice is evaluated through an in depth external review to ascertain whether or not key components of the practice comply with existing regulations, rules, laws, practice guidelines and professional practice standards. In radiation oncology, like other fields, it is driven by the need or desire to demonstrate an identified level of patient care.The accreditation process adopted by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) is based on the parameters of quality care assessment outlined by the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine. Those practices that meet these criteria are eligible for recognition and accreditation by ACRO.
