2. The Problem
Patients can be mistreated for a number of reasons:

- Corruption of data on planning or delivery system
- Inappropriate QA procedures
- lack of training, education, documentation, QA
Utilize the "defense in depth" philosophy to minimize the possibilities of accidents. See IAEA report ??. How this gets turned in to a use case needs some thought.
