The radiation oncology department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), began using RO-ILS: Radiation Oncology Incident Learning System® in June 2014. The transition from our previous paper-based system to the electronic incident learning system was seamless because many of the policies and procedures that we had in place were applicable to RO-ILS.
At UCLA, we define safety events as unexpected changes or possible deviations from a normal system behavior, which caused or has the potential to cause, an adverse effect to people or equipment. All faculty and staff are encouraged to submit safety events.
UCLA is one of more than 150 facilities now participating in RO-ILS. Read the details on why UCLA chose to implement RO-ILS, what the benefits are, and what changes UCLA has implemented as a result of its participation in the Winter 2015 issue of ASTROnews.
