The high ranking of failures concerning SARS-CoV-2 transmission suggest that these steps may require additional quality management intervention when treating critically ill COVID-19+ patients. The results also suggest that a multi-phase FMEA survey led by a facilitator may be a useful tool for assessing risks in radiation oncology procedures, supporting future efforts to adapt FMEA to clinical procedures.
