Patient Safety Conversation Hour Credit Evaluation

May 30, 2024

This is a one-hour interactive forum about patient safety. During this virtual conversation hour, attendees will review and discuss actual safety events in a small group lead by a designated facilitator. All the attendees will then convene in a large group to debrief with safety experts. The events are curated from the RO-ILS: Radiation Oncology Incident Learning System® database. RO-ILS is a national patient safety data repository housed within the auspices of a federally listed patient safety organization. The mission of RO-ILS is to facilitate safer and higher quality care in radiation oncology by providing a mechanism for shared learning in a secure and non-punitive environment. By collecting errors that occur at a local level, RO-ILS can aggregate data, identify national trends, and shed light on error pathways requiring intervention.

Target Audience

This activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation physicists, radiation dosimetrists, radiation therapists, nurses, and radiation oncology residents.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this live activity, participants should be able to:

  • Demonstrate the importance of team-based error investigation.
  • Apply principles of root cause analysis and incident learning recommendations to local errors.
  • Assess local simulation/treatment planning/delivery processes, identify gaps and areas for improvement, and brainstorm mitigation strategies.
