Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the rate of post‐operative radiation therapy (PORT) initiation within 6 weeks for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients treated at a safety net, academic institutio between 2019 and 2021 versus those treated in 2022 after implementation of a new clinical pathway. Methods A retrospective case–control study was performed at a single tertiary care, safety‐net, academic institution. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, dates of surgery, and other treatment dates were collected from the electronic medical record. The time from surgery to PORT was calculated. Patients who started radiation treatment within 42 days of surgery were regarded as having started PORT on time. The demographics, tumor characteristics, and rate of timely PORT for the two cohorts of patients were compared. Results From 2018 to 2021, our rate of PORT initiation within 6 weeks of surgery was 12% (n = 57). In 2022, our rate of timely PORT was 88% (n = 16), p |
