Regular communication between technologists and radiologists is necessary for maintaining optimal diagnostic image quality throughout a radiology practice. In a large hospital system with multiple sites, this task becomes increasingly difficult without simultaneously causing significant disruptions in the clinical workflow and decreased throughput. Thus, establishing a system for quality control reporting that enables effective communication in a seamless and convenient manner is imperative.
Learn about the development of a new integrated system, in collaboration with our PACS vendor, with tools that allow for instant reporting of quality errors and dashboards providing real-time up-to-date quality data across our hospital system, directly accessible from PACS. To date, 8,167 quality reports have been logged in our new system with roughly 355 submissions per month. Early user engagement and consensus feedback among radiologists and technologists have been positive suggesting an overall improvement from prior systems.
Based upon the October 2022 of the Collaborative Development of a PACS-Integrated Quality Control Dashboard, Journal of Imaging Informatics in Medicine (JIIM) article, this webinar will help inform other imaging enterprises seeking to improve quality control reporting within their clinical practice.
Objectives
- Describe Quality Control (QC) an essential component of imaging practice
- Learn how one institution created a PACS-based QC reporting tool
- Discuss real-time dashboards that provide quality data to facilitate continuous improvements
