    Abstract: A method of enabling a healthcare clinic to provide IMRT services on an outsourced basis comprises initially determining the existing capabilities of the clinic to deliver IMRT services. An implementation plan is developed based on the determining step. The implementation plan is designed to enable the clinic to achieve at least a baseline competence in delivering IMRT services. The implementation of the plan may include providing equipment, validating a communication link, providing policies and procedures for services to be rendered, and establishing a QA program for the services to be rendered. The clinic's staff is trained and tested. Thereafter, the readiness of the clinic to deliver IMRT services is evaluated based on the testing.
