“…In particular, multidisciplinary tumor boards have been promoted and staffed for the main tumors (breast, prostate, lung, rectal, head and neck and gynecological cancers) [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Moreover, simplified and organized clinical models for multidisciplinary and multidimensional evaluations have been implemented such as for frail and elderly patients [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Background: We report a mono-institutional experience regarding patient-perceived quality regarding the Chieti Radiotherapy Department, through RAMSI (Radiotherapy Amica Mia—SmileINTM(SI)—My Friend RadiotherapySI) project, in critical scenarios of limited equipment and COVID-19. Material and methods: Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) were assessed as follows: Patient-centric welcome perception (PCWP), Comfort, Professional skills and Punctuality. Patients could give anonymous feedback using HappyOrNot technology through four totems located in strategic areas within the center. An internal benchmark was obtained using the feedback received after a preliminary observation period. The SI Experience Index was collected, analyzed and compared. Weekly and monthly reports were generated. Results: From February 2019 to February 2022, 8924 patients accessed the department; 17,464 daily treatments were recorded and 5830points of feedback were collected: 896, 1267, 1125and 2542 for PCWP, Comfort, Professional skills and Punctuality, respectively. A LINAC decommissioning period was analyzed, with decreases in the SI-Index score and Smile-IN approved percentage and an improvement after this period. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed with a mild evaluations decrease for PREM’s Welcome, Comfort and Punctuality (Δ-value: −9%, −3% and −4%, respectively), while Professional skills were always optimal. Conclusion: The RAMSI project was effective for assessing treatment quality perception, allowing for improving clinical procedures with corrective actions. The RAMSI project is ongoing.
