Key messages
- The Chemotherapy Audit Toolkit is designed for health services to implement best practice management of chemotherapy prescribing variations and to provide auditing methods that are targeted and validated.
- The toolkit consists of two elements: a best practice framework for the evidence to patient process and a suite of tools for auditing variations in chemotherapy prescribing.
- The tools have been piloted in Victorian hospitals.
The Victorian Therapeutics Advisory Group (VicTAG), supported by the Victorian Government, commissioned the creation of a Chemotherapy Audit Toolkit for use by health services in Victoria. The toolkit was released in 2019 and updated in 2025.
To implement a tool:
- start with the Process and Scope guide (as part of the Quality Framework), and use the process within to determine scope and exclusions (in conjunction with the Exclusion Guide)
- use the instructions and tool that relate to your electronic prescribing system (or paper-based if relevant).
The toolkit consists of two elements:
- a quality framework and explanatory notes
- a suite of tools covering various Electronic Prescribing Systems and paper-based prescribing
Instructions for use of the tools (including MOSAIQ) are in the Quality Framework.
