Trigger tools are used to detect adverse events; their use has been studied in general oncology patients but not in radiation oncology. In this study, researchers developed an automated radiation oncology-specific trigger tool and found that the tool showed modest sensitivity and specificity at identifying treatment courses with serious or critical near misses.
