Implementation of the dematerialization of the patient file in the context of COVID in the ONCORAD radiotherapy units: Transition to "paperless"

Cancer Radiother. 2021 Jun 29:S1278-3218(21)00102-5. doi: 10.1016/j.canrad.2021.06.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPaper patient file sharing has clearly been identified as a risk behavior for the COVID-19 virus transmission in radiotherapy units. In order to overcome this, the ONCORAD radiotherapy units worked on total dematerialization of the paper patient file, within 3 weeks. The methodology is based on a quality approch. This work has led to a convincing improvement in the management of risks a priori and a smoother patient care workflow.PMID:34215522 | PMC:PMC8239946 | DOI:10.1016/j.canrad.2021.06.005
