Stud Health Technol Inform. 2021 Dec 15:284:318-319. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210731.

Abstract

In our hospital, the medical records of patients receiving tumor radiotherapy were paper-base. The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated radiotherapy information system to improve the quality and efficiency of treatment for patients with cancer. What's more, it's expected that the system can reduce time and errors caused by manual record.

Keywords: Radiation oncology; data integration; patient safety.
