The grand challenge for radiation oncology centers is to develop highly reliable systems and deliver value to every patient. This book is about the pathway of getting there. In a world of limited time and resources, any waste within the system serves as a distraction and as a hindrance to reliability and quality. The book describes proven concepts and examples that are borrowed from high reliability and value creation organizations to guide radiation oncology centers towards achieving their patient safety and quality goals.
