Systems‐theoretic process analysis of a CT‐guided online adaptive radiation therapy system in a multi‐vendor environment
The STPA led to valuable insights into the potential causes of unsafe control actions and various mitigation strategies that were used to develop the QM program. Notably, most UCAs were attributable to interactions between users and the system, rather than system failures. It is recommended that every institution starting an online ART program perform a risk assessment for their environment.
