“…Communication and information hand‐off issues such as misinterpretation of treatment planning constraints or approval of the wrong plan were perceived to be more likely in larger clinical environments. While larger clinical environments may be associated with more experience and potentially better resulting outcomes, 139 managing quality and safety can be more challenging in a larger and more complex clinical environment.…”

Since the publication of AAPM Task Group (TG) 148 on quality assurance (QA) for helical tomotherapy, there have been many new developments on the tomotherapy platform involving treatment delivery, on-board imaging options, motion management, and treatment planning systems (TPSs). In response to a need for guidance on quality control (QC) and QA for these technologies, the AAPM Therapy Physics Committee commissioned TG 306 to review these changes and make recommendations related to these technology updates. The specific objectives of this TG were (1) to update, as needed, recommendations on tolerance limits, frequencies and QC/QA testing methodology in TG 148, (2) address the commissioning and necessary QA checks,as a supplement to Medical Physics Practice Guidelines (MPPG) with respect to tomotherapy TPS and (3) to provide risk-based recommendations on the new technology

Section: Why Incorporate Dp In Radiation Therapy?mentioning

confidence: 99%

“…A recent editorial by Palma [14] addresses the concept of DP in radiation oncology. While it does not explicitly discuss radiation therapy practice, Palma [14] mentions how the DP elements of feedback, time for problem-solving and evaluation, and the opportunity to refine behaviour, could be of value in radiation oncology. He adds, these DP elements can be integrated by ''reviewing treatment and outcomes, undertaking a peer review of treatment plans, pursuing continuing medical education, and implementing new learnings in clinical practice.''…”

“…Practice with focus: practice must be focused, systematic, and carried out over a period that is sufficient to improve the skill in the authentic practice environment. Palma [14] cautions creating an incorrect practice, again and again, does not lead to improvements. Incorporate feedback from mentors: DP approaches require feedback and support from a skilled mentor.…”

The concept of deliberate practice (DP) has been extensively applied to the development of skill and expert performance in many domains of professional practice. Although it has been widely reviewed in other health professions, there is a lack of evidence on its application in radiation therapy practice. This article aims to explore the concept of DP and how it can be applied to radiation therapy practice. The authors define DP, why it is essential, and how it can be implemented in radiation therapy. Evidence from the DP literature in the health professions was used to clarify the guiding principles for successful DP implementation within both the clinical and educational contexts. While the authors encourage radiation therapy practitioners to engage in DP approaches, every profession utilizing DP will develop strategies unique to the individual discipline. Hence, rather than imitating other professions, it is essential that radiation therapists engage evidence-based approaches that will generate empirical evidence to model radiation therapy-specific DP approaches. R ESUM E La notion de pratique d elib er ee a et e appliqu ee a grande echelle au d eveloppement des comp etences et de l'expertise dans plusieurs domaines de la pratique professionnelle.

Bien que les auteurs encouragent les praticiens en radioth erapie a adopter les approches de pratique d elib er ee, chaque profession utilisant la pratique d elib er ee d eveloppera des strat egies propres a sa discipline. Par cons equent, plutôt que d'imiter d'autres professions, il est essentiel que les radioth erapeutes s'engagent dans des approches fond ees sur les el ements probants qui permettront de g en erer des donn ees empiriques pour la mod elisation d'approches de pratique d elib er ee sp ecifiques a la radioth erapie.
