Reliable patient identification is vital in radiotherapy.
In healthcare reliable patient identity and accessory verification are crucial. Each patient is different and treatment varies greatly in terms of dosage and body positioning. To ensure that each patient receives the correct treatment, accurate verification of the patient’s identity and accessories is essential. Patient identity and patient setup are usually verified by hand, for example, by checking the patient’s date of birth or using a setup photo. However, manual verification is relatively prone to error because it is not integrated into the workflow, meaning there is no 100% guarantee that it is always performed.
CNERGY Go! automates and streamlines the patient workflow.
During the first appointment, both hands are scanned and stored in the system as an encrypted code that is inseparably connected to the patient.
In the CT room, details about the accessories used for treatment positioning are recorded, and setup photos and notes are added to the patient’s setup record.
At the Check-In Kiosk, the patient scans their hand during the second and subsequent appointments. The Check-In Kiosk shows treatment information and directs the patient to the waiting area. In the control room, medical staff can monitor patient arrival. Optionally, in combination with Patient Call-In, the Check-In Kiosk also shows an anonymous patient call-in number and additional patient treatment notes.
In the waiting area, the Call-In TV monitor shows an anonymous call-in number to direct the patient to an available dressing or consultation room. In the control room, medical staff can call the next patient with one single click. Optionally, the Call-In TV monitor also displays customized hospital information.
In the treatment room, the Accessory module shows the accessories that are required for patient treatment. Medical staff place the accessories on the treatment table and scans the accessories with a barcode scanner to confirm their presence. This essential verification step ensures that the treatment unit cannot be activated until all accessories are positively verified.
By automating identity and accessory verification, CNERGY Go! helps to reduce the risk of human error within the radiotherapy workflow. Multiple verification steps ensure that the correct patient receives the correct treatment with the appropriate positioning accessories every time. This advanced approach to patient identification in radiotherapy contributes to a safer treatment environment, accurate patient identity verification, and greater confidence for both patients and medical staff.
CNERGY Go! is designed to integrate smoothly into existing radiotherapy workflows, helping healthcare professionals work more efficiently without adding complexity to daily operations. Automated patient check-in, real-time patient monitoring, and digital accessory verification reduce administrative workload and improve department throughput. As a result, medical staff can focus more on patient care while maintaining high standards of safety and quality in patient identification in radiotherapy.
