• Develop or review procedures for new or non-standard treatment techniques.
• Provide, as requested, statistical analysis for evaluation of treatments.
Treatment Planning
• Obtain and/or review treatment machine specific data required for accurate calculation of patient treatments. Verify accuracy of computer calculations and approve for clinical use. Review regularly and update as required in accordance with established QA program.
• Calculate or review and approve for submission benchmark calculations and studies done for formal clinical trials and protocols. Review before treatment protocol patients and review the documentation of their treatment before submission.
• Assume, as assigned, responsibility under supervision for initial chart review of all treatment plans, patient treatment records, and supervision of dosimetry functions.
• Participate in stereotactic and HDR procedures, with appropriate supervision as required by the Florida Administrative Code 64B23.
Maintenance and Quality Assurance (QA)
• Perform routine QA checks, including IMRT QA, on all radiation producing equipment. Perform annual calibration of radiation producing equipment and maintain appropriate records. Update treatment planning computer systems, charts, and tables as appropriate.
• Review results of test procedures for computer software updates and approve for clinical use.
• Develop, implement, and periodically review a program of in-vivo dosimetry.
• Collaborate with the Associate Chief to administer a comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) program for all treatment modalities, localization procedures and computational equipment and programs sufficient to assure the accurate delivery of prescribed dose to patients.
• Collaborate with the Associate Chief to administer a comprehensive program of maintenance and calibration of instrumentation used for the calibration of radiation sources (linear accelerator, HDR, etc.), measurement of radiation dose and monitoring of patient and staff exposure.
Other Related Functions
• As required, review and update departmental policies and procedures.
• Participate in peer review and weekly chart review for patients under treatment.
• Assure compliance within the Department with all applicable rules and regulations as set forth by the Florida Department of Health in Chapter 64E-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
