Radiation Oncology Practice Management with COVID-19 – Summary:

Chaundre K. Cross, MD, a radiation oncologist with 21st Century Oncology in Naples, Florida, discusses the actions his practice has taken to maintain social distancing and safety standards during the COVID-19 crisis. Patients are encouraged to wait in their cars, only one patient is allowed to enter the practice at a time, and rooms and door knobs are sanitized between appointments. Dr. Cross notes that his practice is using telemedicine more frequently, and is deferring non-essential appointments. He concludes by observing that short-course radiation therapy (i.e. CyberKnife) is a particularly good option in the current moment.
