Safety Profile Assessment (SPA)

What is the SPA?

SPA is an online question-and-answer tool which allows the user to assess clinical performance in key aspects of safety and quality. The SPA was designed by AAPM’s Working Group on the Prevention of Errors with significant input from colleagues representing ASTRO, SROA, ASRT and AAMD.

The SPA consists of the following:

• 92 questions carefully selected from various authoritative reports and recommendations to assess performance in key, safety-critical areas
• Summary of your clinic's performance via visual pie charts
• Bar graphs allowing you to benchmark your performance against other participants
• Downloadable Quality/Safety Improvement Log to guide safety improvement initiatives
• Annotated bibliography for further guidance on best practices and standards
