AlignRT - Automated Biometric Patient Identification Module for Radiation Therapy
The automated biometric patient identification module enhances safety in radiation oncology by minimizing human errors in patient identification, a critical concern in healthcare systems globally. Traditional ID verification methods often fall short, particularly in high-pressure environments, potentially leading to significant errors. This advanced solution integrates seamlessly with AlignRT, offering an added layer of precision in patient verification. This technology not only helps prevent wrong-patient errors, which can occur in 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 250,000 patient encounters, but also aims to strengthen trust and ensure patient safety. Designed for compatibility with version 6.0 and above, this module underscores Vision RT's commitment to optimizing each phase of radiation therapy—simulation, planning, treatment, and dosimetry. With over 2600 systems globally active, Vision RT continues to lead in providing innovative solutions for better patient care.
Improving patient identification accuracy is a top priority for healthcare systems worldwide. Studies have shown that wrong-patient errors can occur in approximately 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 250,000 patient encounters.1,2
In the complex field of radiation oncology, such errors can have devastating consequences, shattering trust and even endangering lives. Traditional methods, such as manual checks and ID cards, leave room for human error, which can be amplified during busy periods or when staff are under pressure.
This cutting-edge solution is integrated directly into AlignRT, providing an additional layer of safety and enabling you to focus on what matters most – building trust and delivering exceptional patient care.
