1 Best Practices for Physics Plan and Chart Review: Report of AAPM Task Group 7 Risk analysis to inform physics plan review recommendations Grace Gwe-Ya Kim, PhD, DABR Radiation Medicine & Applied Sciences Disclosures and Acknowledgements Member of TG7 Volunteers: Review FMs (RTTs, CMDs, MDs), Scoring FMs Some Material and Slides Provided by Other TG7 Members Eric Ford Stephanie Parker Anne Greener Luis Fong de los Santos Perry Johnson Debbie Schofield
2 Workflow for TG7 Risk Assessment Study Develop Online FMEA Tool on AAPM Website Create Process Map Create Database of Failure Modes Enter Failure Modes and Causes into Online Tool Score FM s using Abbreviated Scale Analyze Results of Point Scale FMEA Workflow for TG7 Risk Assessment Study Remove Low Scoring FM s & Combine Causes Score FM s using Standard 0 Point Scale Analyze Results of 0 Point Scale FMEA Correlate FM s with Survey Results Develop Recommendations
3 Create Database of Failure Modes Experience of TG-7 Members Individual Lists Generated by Each TG Member Excel Workbook with Worksheet for Each Process Step SAFRON Event Identified Potential to be detected on physics review List compared to Current Lists 8 FM/Cause Combinations Added to Database Create Database of Failure Modes Validation of Database Against RO-ILS events related to Physics Checks identified by E. Ford List compared to database generated by Task Group Excellent agreement 97 of events already included in database 0 of the events resulted in new causes events resulted in new failure modes of of minor importance and excluded
4 Generate the final list of FMs Started with 9 Failure Mode/ Cause Combinations Eliminated 8 that Fell Below the Threshold Remaining - Still too many Combined Causes for Many FM s Final Result for 0 Point Scale Scoring 8 FM/Cause Combinations Review the final list of FMs volunteers from various institutions 8 Radiation therapists Physicians dosimetrists Score FMs using Standard 0 Point Scale Scoring Open June 7- July, 0 to. Hours to Complete Scoring ~. FM/min
5 Analyze Results of 0 Point Scale FMEA Severity RPN range: Severity range: RPN > 00: 0 FMs RPN Rank0 00 Hi-RPN FMs of EBRT Process Step Tx Plan Pt Assmnt Tx Plan Tx Plan Pt Assmnt Failure Mode Cause RPN "Wrong" or inaccurate MD contours Miscommunication about prior dose, pacemaker, pregnancy Improper margins for PTV Unintentional reirradiation of a previously treated area Incorrect or missing pathology Workflow/Communication Issue, e.g., Attending MD does not review resident contours, MD does not clearly identify dose levels, Incorrect CT dataset, Fusion incorrect or with wrong image set, Target motion not considered, Wrong set of contours imported Information not communicated or available information incorrect Structural issues, e.g. policies and procedures inadequate or non-existent, margins not provided Technical Issue: Inadequate medical records in hospital data base, Re-creation of prior plan incorrect, Missing previous RT dose structure, No records available (foreign country, distant past, lost) pathology report incorrect or not read by MD 80.

9 Proton Plan Check - FMEA Total 7 proton specific FMs scoring: cross-comparison on-going Rank Failure Mode Step Cause RPN Tumor growth while waiting for treatment start Strong, unrepairable metal artifacts Over-dosing normal structures Inaccurate proton range calculation Adaptive plan was not created Simulation On- Quality Management Waiting for insurance clearance 0.8 patient has extensive or high density metal causing severe CT scan artifacts Prior radiation was not considered carefully Failure to consider organ motion or setup uncertainties in the beam path Failed to review or detect any significant/meaningful changes in patient's anatomy in the beam path due to inadequate staff training or no wellestablished guideline etc Summary Risk assessment has been completed. EBRT physics plan review Weekly chart review/eto GYN HDR Proton Therapy Cross - check with the survey result in progress. Develop recommendations in progress based on FMEA & survey results. 9
