House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2020-)
We implemented evidence-based COVID19 guidelines on 3/16/20 to minimize patient exposure risks by avoiding, delaying, and shortening patient treatments when possible.
We analyzed the effectiveness of our COVID guidelines by comparing the number of new patient starts and number of treatments before and after implementation.
Our department successfully decreased patient exposure risk by reducing new prescription starts, rates of longer treatment courses, and overall number of treatment encounters in an evidence-based approach.

- COVID19 has resulted in drastic measures to decrease exposure risks within healthcare systems, with cancer patients at increased risk of infection and death (Liang. Lancet Oncol. 2020).
- Telehealth is the delivery of medical care via interactive audio and/or video telecommunication services.
- Telehealth was previously used sparingly within the department of radiation oncology but has suddenly become the preferred method of contact.
- In order to maintain quality of care, patient satisfaction, resident learning, and reimbursement, a robust telehealth clinical workflow is critical.
- Our department engaged various stakeholder to quickly develop a clinical workflow.
