Patent

CA 2384406

A method is provided for verification of the identification of a patient undergoing radiation treatment administered by a treatment technologist in a treatment room. An identifying card for the patient is provided which is part of the patient's treatment file and which includes an identifying optical code capable of being read by an optical reader located within the treatment room. The treatment technologist causes the identifying card of the treatment file to be read (48) by the optical reader in the treatment room, and a characteristic audio signal, previously assigned to the patient and known to the patient and the treatment technologist, is generated in response to the reading of the identifying code for the patient. If an audio signal is generated responsive to reading of the card, both the patient and technologist listen to the signal, and checks are made (62, 64, 66) and treatment of the patient is at least temporarily withheld if the patient and technologist do not agree that the audio signal generated is the characteristic audio signal assigned to the patient. The identifying card also includes a photograph of the patient.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant la vérification de l'identification d'un patient subissant un traitement par rayonnement administré par un technologue de traitement dans une salle de traitement. Une carte d'identification du patient correspond à une partie du dossier de traitement du patient et comprend un code optique d'identification pouvant être lu par un lecteur optique se trouvant dans la salle de traitement. Le technologue de traitement fait lire (48) la carte d'identification du fichier de traitement par le lecteur optique dans la salle de traitement, et un signal audio caractéristique, préalablement attribué au patient et connu du patient et du technologue de traitement, est produit en réponse à la lecture du code d'identification du patient. Si un signal audio est produit en réponse à la lecture de la carte, le patient et le technologue de traitement perçoivent le signal, et des vérifications s'effectuent (62, 64, 66), et le traitement du patient est au moins temporairement suspendu si le patient et le technologue ne sont pas d'accord sur le fait que le signal audio produit correspond bien au signal audio caractéristique du patient. La carte d'identification comprend également une photographie du patient.
