Over the last several years there has been an effort to utilize electronic recordkeeping in radiation oncology, mostly motivated by government regulations and budgetary considerations. A number of commercially available electronic medical record systems have been developed for radiation oncology. However, the implementation of these systems for the different aspects of information for radiation oncology (e.g., imaging, treatment planning and delivery, on treatment and follow-up data) is not always straightforward, often involving the development of internal processes to make the integration of these systems into the clinic more seamless and robust. Thus, the transition from a “paperful” to an electronic environment can be challenging, with the ultimate benefit of maintaining the integrity and accessibility of patient information. In this session we will provide an overview of TG-262, highlight clinical experiences with common commercially available systems for electronic record keeping, as well as provide insight on how to perform electronic charting for brachytherapy.

Learning Objectives:
1.To review the charges and progress of TG262
2.To discuss the practical uses and challenges of using Aria
3.To discuss the practical uses and challenges of using Mosaiq
4.To present the implementation of electronic charting for Brachytherapy and to review related NRC regulations
