Human error is one of the most significant factors contributing to treatment errors in radiation oncology, and the fear of punishment, retaliation, liability, and embarrassment often impedes the success of implemented near-miss reporting systems. For a reporting process to work, the facility must create and follow a no-blame culture when determining how to identify and respond to potential risks and errors. A good catch reporting system adds safety, efficiency, and an overall higher quality to a radiation oncology department. It also engages frontline staff in improving quality of care for patients and in implementing innovative improvements for efficiency and workflows throughout the department. Unlike other systems, it also solicits feedback from staff members regarding departmental processes, policies, and efficiency opportunities and addresses errors and potential risks via a review committee.
This quiz is the companion to the column “Implementation and Benefits of a Good Catch Program,” which appears in the Fall 2020 Radiation Therapist journal.
