Radiation Oncology operations and workflow efficiency
Jason Dixon
Proton Therapy Center, USA
T
heeraof the “trial anderror” or “one size fits all” approach to
cancer care is gone. This translates to theoperational aspects
of a radiation oncology center as well. Clinical Operations, end-
to-end, encompasses the way patients are engaged and how
a treatment center functions. It includes all of the planning,
directing, and evaluating of patient activities within the facility
from the moment a patient calls to how they will move through
medical visits and treatment complying with internal policies,
protocols. It involves goals of boosting efficient and economic
performance in every department, while delivering highest
quality patient services. Further, it includes working with senior
leadership to drive strategy and implementation of ideas to
meet annual and long-term goals. This presentation discusses
best practice in developing and aligning process improvement
within a center, fromworkflow analysis and project selection to
key performance indicators that successful centers are adjusting
to and evaluating.
