Revidering av Strålskyddshandboken hos Region Blekinge och skapande av ny hemsida för strålskyddshandbok genom att använda sig av programvaruverktyget SharePoint server.

Sammanfattning: Background: Protecting against ionizing radiation is important, since ionizing radiation can break the DNA molecule. This in turn can cause acute injuries such as burns to the skin or cause late effects such as cancer development in the future. Radiation can be useful, but it can also be harmful to humans in wrong handling. The healthcare provider is therefore responsible for ensuring that the operation is radiant safe for workers, patients and the general public.In 1 June 2018 a new Radiation Protection law (2018:396) took effect, together with a new radiation protection ordinance (2018:506) and new regulations. The reason for this is that Swedish legislation must adapt to the new EU Radiation Protection Directive of 2013, which in turn is based on the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publication of 2007. Method: In this project differences have been investigated between the current Radiation Protection Manual at Region Blekinge and the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's new regulations for revising the Radiation Protection Manual relating to X-ray diagnostics. The gap has been identified by using gap analysis, and it has been concluded that in these areas there was room for revision:  Dose limits for workers  Category classification of workers Patient radiation protection Category classification of premises Control of equipment The concept of justification and optimization Specific requirements for X-ray operations Inconnection with the revision, a new website for the Radiation Protection Manual would be created. Therefore, a survey was conducted to determine what the staff thought of the current Radiation Protection Manual and the Radiation Protection Manual after the measures were introduced.To create the website, you write all Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) codes first on W3Schools. Thereafter the code was embedded and inserted into the software tool SharePoint server to create the website. Results: After the gap was found, the above-mentioned areas were revised in the Radiation Protection Manual. Under the control of equipment, the CT (Computed Tomography) method has been added to detect defects on radiation protection aprons. The method is quite a new method and has many advantages including, the control goes much faster and there is no scattered radiation to the personnel who perform the control.The website for Radiation Protection Manual X-ray has been created with clickable dropdown menu as the X-ray site contains nine chapters and each chapter contains many documents. The dropdown menu opens by clicking on the desired chapter and then clicking on the desired document to move on. Conclusions: The Radiation Protection Manual was revised as new requirements have been received from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority. Another conclusion that can be drawn is that a new website has been created for the Radiation Protection Handbook and the measures that have been introduced on the new Radiation Protection Handbook really meet the requirements of both the Radiation Safety Authority and the staff of the Blekinge Region.
