5.6 Step 6: Payment stage 2 fee<br />
If the self-assesment of the institute is approved for a ‘Go’ the institute will receive the invoice for stage two of the<br />
A&D fee. The amount of the fee depends on the designation type of the institute.<br />
Tasks of Executive Manager:<br />
− Sending invoices to the institutes, including the signed A&D Agreement<br />
− Controlling the payments of the institutes,<br />
− Providing the A&D Chair <strong>and</strong> the A&D Secretary a copy of invoices sent to the institutes.<br />
Tasks of the A&D Secretary:<br />
− Confirming payments of institutes to the institute <strong>and</strong> Executive Manager.<br />
The total fee depends on the designation type of the institute:<br />
Stage 1 Stage 2 Total<br />
Cancer Unit € 5.000 € 15.000 € 20.000<br />
Clinical Cancer Centre € 5.000 € 25.000 € 30.000<br />
Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC) € 5.000 € 25.000 € 30.000<br />
The fee of stage two is not equal for different designation types. The fee covers primarily the costs for: <strong>OECI</strong><br />
support to the audit team to prepare the peer review visit, organizing the preparation meeting for the audit team,<br />
organizing the peer review, <strong>OECI</strong> support to prepare the institute for the peer review visit, <strong>OECI</strong> support to the<br />
auditors to make the peer review report, organizing A&D Committee meetings <strong>and</strong> A&D Board meetings, printing<br />
<strong>and</strong> sending the report <strong>and</strong> the A&D Certificate, follow-up of accreditation one year after certification, <strong>and</strong> labour<br />
costs of the A&D Management unit.<br />
Difference in fee<br />
− The peer review visit in a Cancer Unit possibly takes one day instead of two full days in clinical cancer centres<br />
<strong>and</strong> CCC’s,<br />
− The peer review visit in a Cancer Unit does not include the full set of st<strong>and</strong>ards. St<strong>and</strong>ards related to chapter<br />
4 ‘Research, innovation <strong>and</strong> development’ are not assessed,<br />
− The audit team possibly includes less than four auditors.<br />
Note:<br />
If there is a discrepancy between the designation judgement of the institute <strong>and</strong> the preliminary designation that<br />
remains after the explanatory visit, the institute shall pay the fee equal to the designation type they applied for. For<br />
example: an institute that has classified itself as clinical cancer centre <strong>and</strong> is willing to continue the programme<br />
as such, they shall pay in total € 30.000 although the preliminary designation is a cancer unit.<br />
Note:<br />
If an institute decides to apply for A&D as clinical cancer centre or CCC the full set of st<strong>and</strong>ards will be assessed,<br />
including the st<strong>and</strong>ards related to chapter 4 ‘Research, innovation <strong>and</strong> development’.<br />
