Abstract
Background: During radiotherapy incorrect patient identification can have serious consequences. Our main goal was to develop an application that supports the radiotherapists during their workflow and to improve patient safety by the use of scanner terminals. Methods: The system development was evolutionary. Expert reviews and multiple interviews with target users were held. Results: A prototype to identify patients during their radiation therapy was made in collaboration with the Radiation Oncology Department of the University Hospital Basel. The result is a fully functional prototype that can be integrated into the existing system landscape. Conclusions: The system has been successfully implemented and evaluated positively by the customer. It could be tested in the future in a pilot study.
