START, an advanced radiation therapy information system (RTIS), enhances clinical decision-making and operational efficiency in radiation therapy departments. This integrated system supports data management, statistical evaluation, and ensures patient data safety and confidentiality.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Radiation therapy departments face challenges in managing clinical, administrative, and information systems.
  • Integration with hospital information systems (HIS) is crucial for efficient patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement START, an advanced radiation therapy information system (RTIS).
  • To support decision-making in treatment planning and integrate information across hospital systems.
  • To improve organizational efficiency, data evaluation, and ensure data safety.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative development approach involving all radiation therapy department operators.
  • Gradual introduction and integration with existing information applications.
  • Development of a client-server system with a modular architecture and integrated database.

Main Results:

  • START facilitates four major information flow phases: admission, visit, planning, and therapy.
  • Key functionalities include clinical history linking, planning, tracking, and statistical evaluation.
  • The system offers role-specific functions for radiotherapists, technicians, and nurses.

Conclusions:

  • START aims to optimize radiation therapy workflows and enhance departmental performance.
  • The system's modular design allows for future expansion and integration.
  • Ongoing clinical validation will further assess its impact on daily operations.
