OECI - Organization of European Cancer Institutes > Steps and activities of Pascale
Steps and activities of Pascale 1. STEP “Self-assessment” (according to the quality standards)The accreditation program for the institute starts at month 0 with the self-assessment. The self-assessment period will take 6 months. During this period the institute completes qualitative and quantitative questionnaire, attaches documents required by the OECI and describes improvements points that can be used to make an improvement plan. 2. STEP “Approval Go/No go” The final ‘go’ or ‘no go’ decision will be taken by the OECI A&D Board within 2 months after finishing the self-assessment. Before the Board takes the decision the A&D Committee analyses the self-assessment results according to the criteria for self-assessment. The Committee proposes to the A&D Board a “go” or “no go” decision. 3. STEP “Peer review” An audit team will have 2 months to prepare the peer review before the peer review visit can take place. The auditors will have interviews with employees of the cancer institute. 4. STEP “Reporting” It takes about 3 months to finish the final peer review report including general conclusions, strengths, opportunities and the final designation type. 5. STEP “Formulate improvement plan” The institute shall present an improvement plan. 6. STEP “Approval Accreditation and Designation Certificate” The final accreditation decision will be taken by the OECI A&D Board within 1 month after the OECI received the improvement plan of the institute. 7. FOLLOW-UP of Accreditation and Designation Program One year after the peer review visit the cancer institute provides a written report with the progress of the goals, actions and time-schedule set in the improvement plan. OECI Accreditation and Designation is valid for four years from the date of issue of the OECI A&D Certificate. The institute should have started a new round of the A&D programme at least 6 months before the expiring date of the certificate. |
