2. Why Patient Safety? FANC (Federal Agency for Nuclear Control) “It is essential, for quality assurance reasons, for each radiotherapy centre to have an internal system for recording and analyzing all incidents, in accordance with the requirements of the College of Radiotherapy and the Agency”. (www.fanc.be)www.fanc.be

2. Why Patient Safety? BVRO/VVRO ROSIS (Radiation Oncology Safety Information System) MAASTRO clinics Adverse events media Initiatives in partner hospitals

2. Why Patient Safety? No structured patient safety policy: Lack of knowledge No experience with incident reporting No structured system for reporting Blame and shame

3. Approach 2009 Q1Q2Q4Q3 Start project Education/ Literature search 2010 Bench- marking Start-up Patient Safety Team
11
3.2 Patient Safety team Team Patient Safety Discussion of reported incidents Analyses and feedback Multidisciplinary ( Medical Coordinator, Radiotherapist, Nurse coordinator, 2 Nurses, Physicist, Dosimetrist and Patient Safety Coordinator)
12
3.3 Training 3.3.1 PRISMA Prevention and Recovery Information System for Monitoring and Analysis 3.3.2 SAFER Scenario Analyses Fail modes Effects and Risks 3.3.3 Improvement actions
13
3.3.1 PRISMA Retrospective Directory of causes Main causes (focus on flaws in the system) Classification in human, organizational and technical causes. Database Analyses: Prisma-profile Feedback organization Action are based on main causes
14
3.3.1 PRISMA Incident Patient Safety Team (Multidisciplinary) Improvements Main Causes Petra Reijnders, MAASTRO 2010
15
3.3.2 SAFER Prospective (Predictive) Identifying the ways in which a process can fail Estimated risk Prioritizing the actions to reduce risk Safe implementation of new procedures
16
3.3.2 SAFER Patient Safety Team (Multidisciplinary) Design, concept of process SAFER Order, severity and change Improvements “What can go wrong?” Petra Reijnders, MAASTRO 2010
17
3.3.3 Improvement actions Actions to improve the system Automation of processes Implementation of actions (ex. Checklist, alert notes, warning cards,…) Monthly update with statistics and reminders
