Development and psychometric validation of a patient safety assessment tool in German Radiation Oncology: the PaSaGeRO Study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ensuring patient safety in radiation oncology is crucial for delivering high-quality healthcare. Patient safety indicators (PSIs) provide a mechanism for identifying, quantifying and evaluating risks and the effectiveness of safety measures. However, there is currently no specialised set of PSIs tailored for radiation oncology in Germany. This study seeks to: (1) create PSIs specifically designed for radiation oncology settings, (2) develop and psychometrically validate an instrument for assessing safety in German radiation oncology facilities and (3) evaluate the feasibility of implementing this instrument in routine clinical practice. The finalised questionnaire will serve as a self-assessment instrument for radiation oncology departments, aiding them in evaluating t
