In February of 2020, AIC in collaboration with partners at RadPhysics LLC, MedStar RadAmerica, and NC State established the formation of the SoterRO workgroup to explore ways to improve patient safety in Radiation Therapy services. The group name termed “SoteRO©”is inspired by Soter, Greek sprit of safety, preservation, and deliverance from harm. The first initiative of the workgroup focuses on the creation of an error reduction decision algorithm using data provided by multiple radiation oncology centers powered using machine learning and AI tools to improve productivity and patient safety. The group meets weekly to map out short- and long-term strategies. The group recently submitted a STTR Phase I grant application to National Science Foundation for the September 2020 submission window.  If you are interested in learning more about this initiative, please click here to fill out the contact form.
