“…Although the measured neutron dose for PBS is less than both passively‐scattered proton therapy and 18 MV x‐ray therapy, 1,6,7 a SEU could potentially lead to catastrophic failure, in particular for CIEDs, leading to enhanced treatment guidelines in PBS proton therapy 1,8,9 . The workflow and experience in our clinic for treating CIED patients with PBS protons has been previously reported 10 …”

“…1,8,9 The workflow and experience in our clinic for treating CIED patients with PBS protons has been previously reported. 10 This study's purpose was to design a single clinical checklist document that was flexible to accommodate differing guidelines based on device type and treatment modality, while efficiently streamlining the quick workflow of our busy clinic. This was accomplished using scripting functionality compatible with our clinical radiation oncology information system (ROIS).…”

PurposeDevelop an efficient, interactive, and instructive checklist document for the management of implanted electronic medical devices in a multimodality radiotherapy clinic.MethodsThe built‐in scripting and interactivity of a popular commercial word processor was used to develop an interactive document that changes the information presented to the user based on drop‐down selections. The interactivity and scripting were compatible with the radiation oncology information system (ROIS) which allows the document to be accessible by all team members and serve as a permanent record in a patient's electronic chart.ResultsThe final interactive document, which was clinically deployed after beta testing with a group consisting of nurses and medical physicists, presents information and action plans to the user based on multiple departmental medical device decision trees that are specific to the combination of device, treatment modality, rhythm‐pacing dependence for cardiac devices, and distance from the device to the treatment volume.ConclusionA script‐enabled interactive document was developed for a busy multimodality clinic, condensing multiple comprehensive departmental guidelines spanning multiple device types and treatment modalities into a single interactive checklist accessible within the ROIS. Given the wide accessibility of the commercial word processor, this approach could be adopted by other clinics to streamline their own respective workflows.
