RadPhysics Celebrates 16 Years of Reducing Radiation Oncology Errors and Increasing Patient Safety

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - March 18, 2024 - PRLog -- RadPhysics is celebrating its 16^th year of providing higher patient safety rates and reducing medical errors in radiation oncology. Officially launched in 2008, RadPhysics boasts a 99% success rate of reducing errors through its groundbreaking MERP software.

Research shows a staggering number of errors happening in radiation oncology in areas including treatment delivery, billing infractions, near misses, and QA and radiation safety failures. In fact, the error rates in the entire treatment process per patient are at 82%. This draws alarm for patient safety, but it's also concerning for oncology radiation centers, who lose an average of $714,000 in errors per year.

RadPhysics continues its mission in reducing the risk of medical errors in oncology radiation centers with software that bridges the gap between hands-on clinical practice and the sophisticated treatments being used today. Creating a complete error reduction program is nearly impossible for radiation oncology centers to independently accomplish, posing major time and financial constraints.

RadPhysics' MERP software gives oncology radiation centers a way to manage medical errors effectively and even prevent them before they happen. MERP is an error reduction and compliance software system that reduces preventable system-related medical errors and violations of regulatory requirements through fully-compliant, non-intrusive data collection, analysis, and action plan creation. This yields an incredibly fast identification of errors to stop them before damage occurs. MERP is compliant with the patient safety initiatives set forth by professional organizations and regulators around the world to ensure smooth integration in oncology radiation centers everywhere.

The team at RadPhysics is completing cancer care with its highly practical approach to reducing medical errors in oncology radiation. The company continues its tradition of excellence in 2024 with its 16^th anniversary. More information can be found at https://radphysics.com/.
