Abstract

Clinical teams are professionally driven to adopt the latest evidence-based care ensuring optimal outcomes for patients. There can be delays in the latest evidence reaching practice. The radiotherapy multi-professional team in partnership with Clinical Librarians developed a lean process to undertake the real-time evidence-based live update of clinical radiotherapy protocols. Principles of Quality Function Deployment were deployed to create a lean process. The process was evaluated for the percentage difference to the radiotherapy protocol parameters over two years. Satisfaction of the live update was scored from 1: Very dissatisfied to 5: Very satisfied. Since 2014, 12 protocols have been through the process. The live update resulted in 80% of differences to the clinical protocol compared to the previous two years. Among 10 respondents, a mode of 5 was scored for satisfaction. This novel approach has been successful in providing a lean process ensuring that the latest evidence reaches radiotherapy practice.

优化实时临床图书管理员支持，增强放射治疗临床方案的证据基础

临床团队以专业为导向，采用最新的循证护理，确保患者获得最佳结果。在获得最新证据的实践中可能会有延迟。放射治疗多专业团队与临床图书馆员合作开发了一个精益流程，以承担临床放射治疗方案的实时循证实时更新。部署了质量功能部署原则来创建一个精益过程。评估该过程在两年内与放射治疗方案参数的百分比差异。对实时更新的满意度评分从1分非常不满意到5分非常满意。自2014年以来，已经通过了12项协议。与前两年相比，实时更新导致80%的临床方案差异。在10名受访者中，满意度得分为5分。这种新颖的方法已经成功地提供了一个精益的过程，确保最新的证据到达放射治疗实践。
