Working Group on Radiation Oncology - Incident Learning System
ASTRO and AAPM have jointly created a national incident learning system for Radiation Oncology (RO-ILS) by contracting with an accredited Patient Safety Organization (PSO). This working group is tasked with:
- Providing AAPM representatives to the joint collaborative group from AAPM and
ASTRO that monitors RO-ILS and provides guidance to it.
- Monitoring the level of participation in the national system and the reports from
the system back to the community.
- Assisting the RO-ILS effort by developing and implementing promotional and training tools, including presentations at meetings, slide sets for presenters, and newsletter articles.
- Assessing the utility of the national system, both perceived and if possible quantified, and recommending improvements and opportunities for practical and
scientific exploitation of RO-ILS event data.
- Working with ASTRO to select AAPM representatives on the event review group: the Radiation Oncology Health Advisory Council (RO-HAC).
- Making reports and recommendations to the AAPM Science Council about AAPM's participation in the program, including annual budget requests.
- Assisting the Executive Director in reviewing the Memorandum of Understanding with ASTRO regarding RO-ILS.
