Purpose: An absence of a common language for incident classification limits knowledge sharing within and between organizations in the radiotherapy community. This challenge provided the motivation to develop a clinically relevant taxonomy for radiotherapy errors.
Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter, prospective study that consisted of three phases: (1) an initial version of the taxonomy was developed based on the World Health Organization Conceptual Framework for the International Classification for Patient Safety and taxonomy models from radiotherapy and other industries; (2) the taxonomy was evaluated using actual incident data from a single practitioner and revised; and (3) face validity testing of the taxonomy was performed by two additional practitioners from different radiotherapy centers using simulated incident cases.
