About
SaILS is an incident learning system custom built for the needs of the radiation medicine program at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre. It allows staff anywhere within the clinic to submit an incident report from any device with access to the hospital network (Fig 1).
SaILS also facilitates the triaging and investigation of incidents by allowing incidents to be assigned to specific investigators. The results of the investigation are recorded in SaILS (Fig 2.) and can be reviewed at any time in the future (Fig 3.). Follow-up actions (e.g. implement a new interlock) can be assigned and tracked until they are completed.
Aggregates statistics (Fig 4.) about all the incidents occuring in a given calendar year are made available to all staff within the clinic. This makes it very easy to spot trends in the types of incidents which are ocurring in the clinic allowing staff to decide where to focus their efforts in improving clinical practices.
All incident data from SaILS can easily be exported to Excel or CSV format for easier data mining.
Live Demo
A live demo of SaILS will be online very soon.
