Composition of an audit team

 
In an ideal situation the audit team typically consists of:
  • A chair who is a director of a cancer institute
  • 3 Auditors with different positions/ functions in different fields of oncology, like: medical oncology, care, research, pathology, quality assurance
  • At least one auditor should understands the language of the country where the cancer institute is located but who is not a resident of that country
  • A mix of experienced and less experienced auditors. Every team has at least two experienced auditors
  • Every team consists of at least one physician, and preferably one nurse
  • If the visit takes place in an institute that is preliminary designated as a CCC, the chair of the audit team is employed in a CCC
 
An OECI A&D Coordinator will also be present during the peer review visit to coordinate the peer review activities.
