Conduite d’une visite de certification par la Haute Autorité de santé dans un service de radiothérapie

Abstract

The French Higher Health Authority's (Haute Autorité de santé [HAS]) certification process is an important issue for a health care facility and in particular for a radiotherapy department. It is based on a quality-risk management methodology driven by the commitment and involvement of professionals. The radiotherapy department of the university hospital in Brest (France) has been engaged for many years in a demanding quality-risk management policy implementation, subjected to regular inspections by the French Nuclear Safety Authority (Autorité de sûreté nucléaire [ASN]). This implementation is driven by a strong commitment from department managers, who are determined to maintaining an efficient level for care quality and safety.
