Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to treat cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. More than half of cancer patients will receive radiation therapy at some point during their treatment. The implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) in radiotherapy departments guarantees high quality care and optimal safety for patients. The QMS is a set of policies, procedures and processes aimed at ensuring effective management of the quality of treatments. It is crucial for planning, implementing, monitoring and continuously improving the care of radiotherapy patients. The benefits of the QMS for patients are multiple. It provides high quality support through specific protocols and deadlines. The security of processing is reinforced by the continuous training of personnel, the monitoring of incidents and the analysis of errors. Developing a culture of safety and continuous improvement also helps to minimize risk. In conclusion, the implementation of a QMS in radiotherapy departments guarantees quality care, secure and adapted to the individual needs of patients. This improves patient satisfaction while reducing the risk of errors. |
