Future steps in our process include performing a formal FMEA analysis of remote SBRT coverage for our physicians. We would also like to perform a study investigating remote coverage differences for a larger set of patients over a longer period of time. This work allows us to explore avenues of real-time training and recording across our multi-institutional sites during deployment of new techniques for debrief and feeback. It also provides a platform for real-time collaboration across multiple individuals with expertise in a variety disease sites despite not being physically available at the time of treatment. At this current stage, we were able to quickly implement this novel technology, performing a brief yet informative and important study in the management of COVID-19 for the healthcare system.
