Because radiation is a central curative and palliative therapy for
many patients, it is essential to have safe and efficient systems
for planning and delivering radiation therapy. Factors such as
rapid technological advances, financial reorganization, an aging
population, and evolving societal expectations, however, may be
compromising our ability to deliver highly reliable and efficient
care. Engineering Patient Safety in Radiation Oncology describes
proven concepts and examples, borrowed from organizations known for
high reliability and value creation, to guide radiation oncology
centers towards achieving patient safety and quality goals. It
portrays the authors' efforts at the University of North Carolina
to address the challenges of keeping patients safe while
continuously improving care delivery processes. Reviews past and
current challenges of patient safety issues within radiation
oncology Provides an overview of best practices from high
reliability organizations Explains how to optimize workplaces and
work processes to minimize human error Offers methods for engaging
and respecting people during their transition to safety mindfulness
Requiring no prior knowledge of high reliability and value
creation, the book is divided into two parts. Part one introduces
the basic concepts, methods, and tools that underlie the authors'
approach to high reliability and value creation. In addition, it
provides an overview of key safety challenges within radiation
oncology. In part two, the authors supply an in-depth account of
their journey to high reliability and value creation at the
University of North Carolina.
