Use of a Checklist Approach on a Telecobalt in an Attempt to Reduce Human Errors in Radiotherapy Delivery and Improve Therapeutic Ratio

BACKGROUND: The process of radiotherapy treatment planning and delivery involves multiple steps and professionals causing it to be prone to errors. Radiotherapy centers equipped with old telecobalt machines have certain peculiar challenges to workflow. We designed and tested a checklist for radiothe...
