- My professional role encompassed both inpatient and outpatient responsibilities, where I skillfully integrate advanced therapeutic techniques into routine clinical practice.
- As part of my work, I have successfully designed and implemented comprehensive clinical templates for pre-treatment assessments, along with a simplified and efficient rapid discharge summary format. I strive to consistently improve clinical efficiency and elevate the standard of patient care. I have accomplished this by creating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) templates (liaising with external teams) and promoting their use within the organization to enhance the delivery of patient care.
- I have created detailed checklists for pre-treatment simulation and planning delivery, ensuring that all aspects are thoroughly documented and that image guidance protocols are strictly followed.
- I have exhibited proficiency in the utilization of artificial intelligence in healthcare settings and have actively engaged in collaborative research endeavors spanning diverse fields, with an emphasis on documenting them on a daily blog (radoncnotes.com).
- By implementing well-documented and standardized departmental protocols, we have emphasized patient safety, further reinforcing the hospital's status as the sole JCI accredited institution in the region, with a continual emphasis on quality and patient safety outcomes.
