Key Points

The research aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the PROPRM model for pediatric radiation oncology in Pakistan.
Implemented the virtual PROPRM model for peer review meetings.
Identified systemic gaps in pediatric radiotherapy.
Standardized care practices to improve quality assurance.
The model proved feasible in a resource-limited setting.
There was a notable improvement in quality assurance processes.
Standardization efforts may reduce disparities in childhood cancer care outcomes.

Implication

Virtual peer review meetings improve quality assurance in pediatric radiotherapy, highlighting systemic gaps in care.

Abstract

The virtual PROPRM model is a feasible and effective strategy for centralizing specialized expertise and improving QA in resource-limited settings. By identifying systemic gaps and standardizing care, this framework offers a sustainable pathway toward reducing global disparities in childhood cancer outcomes.
