Webinar "Using SAFRON Incident Learning System in Radiology Department in Philippines – Case Study"
Registration deadline
Дата і час: 11.06.2020 о 09:00
SAFRON, Safety in Radiation Oncology is an IAEA incident learning system for external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy and radionuclide therapy, that includes safety-related occurrences so called events that reach the patient as well as near events that were identified prior to reaching the patient. Currently there are more than 180 medical facilities from around the world registered in the system.
One of them is the Department of Radiotherapy of Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center in Philippines, established in 1988 together with the Philippine Cancer Control Program (PCCP). The department provides advanced radiotherapy services to patients in the region and is also an educational facility for training professionals in the field.
Dr Jerickson Abbie S. Flores, Radiation Oncologist from the Department of Radiotherapy in Philippines, will share his experience using SAFRON as the department’s incident learning system for the past three years.
The speaker – Dr Jerickson Abbie S. Flores
He will explain how the use of SAFRON led to improvements in both patient safety and quality of the patients’ treatments. Dr Flores will provide insight on how his department has been able to enhance and reinforce both the safety and the quality of radiotherapy and the increased awareness of the importance of a strong safety culture.
Thanks to SAFRON, the department has managed to strengthen the identification of errors and near misses, and to improve the use of safety barriers to prevent errors from reaching the patient.
Learning objectives
-
To learn about how SAFRON is used in a large academic radiotherapy facility.
-
To understand how SAFRON can help reinforce safety and quality of radiotherapy in medical institutions.
Date of broadcast: 11 June 2020, 3 pm CEST.
