1 Clinical Safety & Effectiveness Session # _6_ REDUCTION OF PATIENT TREATMENT TIME IN RADIATION THERAPY DATE Educating for Quality Improvement & Patient Safety 1
2 The Team Division Alonso N. Gutiérrez, Ph.D., DABR Anu Shrestha, B.Sc., RTT June Duran, B.Sc., RTT Rick Watkins, B.Sc., RTT Chul Ha, M.D., DABR Jonathon Tinker, MHA, MBA Sponsor Department Department of Radiation Oncology 2
3 Project Milestones Team Created Aug 2010 AIM statement created Aug 2010 Team Meetings Ongoing Background Data, Brainstorm Sessions, Aug Oct 2010 Workflow and Fishbone Analyses Interventions Implemented Oct 11, 2010 Data Analysis Aug 22 Nov 16, 2010 CS&E Presentation Jan
4 Radiotherapy Delivery Radiotherapy requires accurate patient positioning throughout treatment Image guided (CT): Aids in initial patient positioning Patient may move after positioning Reduction in overall treatment time is beneficial Reduced probability of patient motion Better accuracy in targeting tumor and sparing normal tissues Improved patient experience Increased patient throughput 4
5 What We Are Trying to Accomplish? OUR AIM STATEMENT To decrease, by mid December 2010, the single fraction treatment time* by 15.0% using the TomoTherapy Hi ART unit located within the Department of Radiation Oncology at CTRC *single treatment time time required to setup, register and dismiss the patient 5
6 Major Key Process Components TomoTherapy Radiation Delivery Process Patient Initial Setup CT Scan Image Fusion Patient Final Position Treatment 6
7 Flow Chart No Open patient plan and select CT scan region Retrieve patient from waiting room Correct patient? Yes Escort patient into treatment vault Perform initial patient setup Call MD and resident to approve scan Yes New patient new plan? Therapist approves the scan Therapist begins fusion process Start CT scan No Record patient shift data on spreadsheet Acquire screen capture for patient record Proceed to vault to apply shifts to patient Treat patient Aid patient off of treatment table and escort to lobby 7
8 How Will We Know That a Change is an Improvement? To track improvement, overall treatment time for all patients will be logged Specific data recorded: Time patient enters treatment vault Time patient radiation delivery starts Time patient exits treatment vault 8
9 What Component of the Process do We Target? Strategically evaluated main contributing factors: TomoTherapy machine Patients Healthcare providers Processes Personnel Skills/Training 9
10 Cause and Effect Diagram of the Reasons Why Treatment Time is Prolonged on TomoTherapy Machine Patient Healthcare Providers TomoTherapy errors requiring physicist/engineer attention System needs to be rebooted Therapist time to transfer verification image into R&V Therapist time to record shifts Pt enjoy talking to therapist Pt move during CT scan Physician time to approve fusion on first tx fraction Some patients require longer time to setup Pt nervous and tense about Tx Therapist & Physician not familiar with fusion Long time to localize physician Therapist not selecting optimal scan length Therapist tending to other requests Therapist socialize Overall treatment time on TomoTherapy too long Processes Skills 10
11 Intervention Action Plan Focused on threespecific components: Healthcare providers Time efficiency of treatment dependent healthcare provider Processes Current processes performed established practice and not optimized for efficiency Personnel Skills/Training Image fusion technique highly variable among physician and therapist CT scan volume region also highly variable among therapist 11
12 Implementing the Change Healthcare providers Tomo Time : Establish an understanding of the importance of time efficiency during setup thru delivery Processes Pt. shifts recorded during radiation delivery Fusion verification image transferred at END of day Pre notification of physician for fusion approval Personnel Skills/Training Therapist training to optimize CT scan volume Physician/therapist training to systematically fuse images 12
13 31.9 Mean Daily Patient Treatment Time Run Chart 26.9 UCL % decrease in overall treatment time (13.0 vs. 17.4min) Average Treatment Time CL % decrease in variation (15.2 vs. 7.1min) LCL Date 13
14 21.0 Mean Daily Setup/Fusion Time Run Chart 19.0 UCL % decrease in setup/fusion time (9.0 vs. 13.9min) Average Setup/Fusion Time CL % decrease in variation (4.7 vs. 9.9min) LCL Date 14
15 Expansion of Our Implementation Techniques utilized to decrease patient treatment time are universal Apply similar strategy to other radiation delivery machines Novalis Tx experience Address patient component Providing patient education at start of treatment Providing patient with multimedia illustrating treatment 15
16 Return on Investment (ROI) Tangible return Increased patient throughput = increased department revenue Typical IMRT treatment (5wks/$35K/Pt.) Based on 8 hour work schedule Treat 4 additional patients per day (~40 Pts/yr.) Revenue increase: $1.4M Intangible return Patient satisfaction Potential improvements in treatment effectiveness Potential reduction of radiation side effects 16
17 Conclusion/What s Next Our team was able to reduce overall patient treatment time by 25% largely due to: Personal training Processes optimization We found that continuous training and peer encouragement is essential for sustainability Overall patient satisfaction increased due to shorter treatment times Complete similar project for Novalis Tx treatment unit 17
18 Thank you! Educating for Quality Improvement & Patient Safety 18
