ABSTRACT
A checking form was introduced in order to test the completeness of electronic and paper patient's charts in a radiotherapy department which had introduced record-and-verify system (RVS) and to improve tha staff performance. The chosen items for the electronic chart were 9 and 5 for paper chart. 223 patients were reviewed in two phases. The data analysis was based on a scoring method, attributing a positive score (+1) to the operator's good behaviour, a negative score (-1) to the lack of data input and a neutral score (0) to the inapplicable situation. The average global score increased from 0.4 to 0.7 in A (lowest complexity) category from 0.37 to 0.64, in B category from 0.4 to 0.89, in C category from 0.48 to 0.61.
