Treatment Delivery Record Content

Summary

The Treatment Delivery Record Content (TDRC) Profile specifies the content of the RT Beams Treatment Record being transferred from the Treatment Delivery Record Producer storage to the Treatment Record Consumer. It will:

• make the therapists’ workflow easier and faster, because it incorporates all information needed for treatment delivery record keeping.
• enable therapists to concentrate more on finalizing the details of patient treatment rather dealing with technical issues.
• reduce the time physicists and therapists need to gather and review treatment delivery information.

The profile will not specify how to validate the treatment delivery parameters, but will ensure that they are available, and well formatted.

Benefits

TDRC contributes to patient safety, because it will standardize the content which is reviewed to assess if delivery of treatment was accurate to the plan.
