2024 Safety Star Nominations
An underpinning goal of the RO-ILS: Radiation Oncology Incident Learning System® program is to support and encourage a strong culture of safety. A culture of safety encourages staff to speak up, prioritize patient safety and engage in initiatives that benefit quality such as incident learning and accreditation.
Each year RO-ILS will recognize a select number of radiation oncology team members for their contributions to patient safety.
