Special thanks to Sectra for sponsoring the 2025 SIIM Enterprise Imaging Webinar Series.
Networked systems are integral to the efficient operation of healthcare facilities, including radiology departments. However, network downtimes can occur due to various reasons, including system upgrades, cyber-attacks, or technical failures. During such downtimes, radiology departments must have robust contingency plans to ensure continued operation and patient care.
This topic explores the systems and processes essential for recovering from a network downtime in a radiology department, focusing on report distribution, recovery strategies, and communication channels.
Objectives
- Describe key systems and processes involved in report distribution during a network downtime in a radiology department.
- Identify effective distribution strategies that ensure continuity of operations and minimize disruption during a network downtime.
- Discuss steps to establish reliable communication channels to ensure proper coordination during network recovery efforts.
