Collection and Usage Attributes
A patient can receive more than one course of radiation therapy treatment at the same time (i.e. courses which are simultaneous or which overlap).

Only a radiation oncologist can prescribe a course of radiation therapy treatment. A prescription is not equal to a course of radiation therapy treatment. A prescription may be for one or more courses of radiation therapy treatment. A prescription outlines the anatomical region/sites to be treated and is for a prescribed dose at a defined volume (fractionation) over a defined period of time.

One course of radiation therapy treatment may cover multiple phases and multiple treatment plans.

The completion of a course of radiation therapy treatment is not relevant to the definition of a course of radiation therapy treatment.
