A Novel Informatics-Driven Model for Proactive Radiation Safety Management: Lessons from a Tumor Specialist Hospital in China.
- 1Department of Hospital Infection Control and Public Health, Sichuan Cancer Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
Abstract
Background
Tumor hospitals face intensive radiation equipment, large radiation worker groups, and inefficient paper-based radiation safety management. Suitable and targeted informatization solutions are lacking in Southwest China.Methods
Based on a tertiary tumor hospital in Southwest China, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a full-process informatized radiation safety management system with requirement analysis, functional module design, and real-world application assessment.Results
After system implementation, the personal dose monitoring rate increased from 95% to 99%, training completion rate rose from 70% to 99%, occupational health examination implementation rate improved from 80% to 90%, and new project approval time was shortened from a typical range of 30-60 days to approximately 15 days.Conclusion
This informatics-driven proactive radiation safety model improved institutional management efficiency, standardization, and risk control. It offers a replicable scheme for regional radiation protection informatization and public health security.Trial registration
