New workflow aims to prevent radiation errors in cancer treatment

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * PRACTICE: Must provide radiation therapy for ≥ 3 patients per month with lung cancer or head \& neck cancer * PRACTICE: At least one radiation oncologist and one radiologist (in house, contracted, etc.) at the practice willing to participate, but may have multiple participants at the practice * PRACTICE: Radiation oncologist/radiologist team must use Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) software at this practice * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Must have been in independent practice (i.e., performing duties without preceptor oversight) for a minimum of six months * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Must treat lung and/or head \& neck cancer patients with curative intent radiation therapy * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Willing and able to participate in 15 minutes of mandatory virtual CORRECT training * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Willing to participate in a 30-minute interview, if selected at the end of the study * RADIOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Must have been in independent practice (i.e., performing duties without preceptor oversight) for a minimum of six months * RADIOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Agree to review pre-treatment radiation therapy targets during the course of the study duration (approximately 12 months). Willing and able to participate in 15 minutes of mandatory virtual CORRECT training * RADIOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Willing to participate in a 30-minute interview, if selected at the end of the study * PATIENT: Must have any stage of clinically diagnosed lung or head \& neck (HN) cancer * PATIENT: Planned treatment with curative intent definitive RT (with or without other treatments). Curative intent RT must be documented in the electronic medical record (EMR) by the treating radiation oncologist * PATIENT: Must be expected to be treated by a radiation oncologist participating in this study * PATIENT: Must be 18 years or older Exclusion Criteria: * PRACTICE: Participation by the Community Site or Minority/Underserved Community Site in another National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR) U34-supported protocol funded in NCI fiscal year 2025 or later. (Note: WF- 2301CD CONNECT is exempt from this policy, as it was funded prior to NCI fiscal year 2025.) * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Planning to leave their position at this practice within the next 12 months * RADIATION ONCOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Providing service on a temporary basis (i.e., locum tenens providers) * RADIOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Planning to leave their position at this practice within the next 12 months * RADIOLOGIST (NON-PATIENT): Providing service on a temporary basis (i.e., locum tenens providers) * PATIENT: Unable to understand English or Spanish * PATIENT: Early glottic larynx cancer planned for definitive RT alone
