Overview
Key challenges for hospitals and health systems
Need to provide access to care
is increasingly important in today’s competitive healthcare systems. But if there is a shortage of qualified radiology technologists, a specific exam may not be possible at the required location and time. This puts patient satisfaction as well as revenue streams at risk.
Need to increase productivity and efficiency of operations
is a result of growing economic pressure on healthcare providers. Inflexible working hours and a limited number of qualified experts complicate shift planning. This is especially challenging during extended hours, off-hours, and peak hours and jeopardizes the achievement of the desired level of care and throughput.
Need for knowledgeable and confident staff
as they are the key factor in delivering patient care at a high standard. As highly qualified radiology technologists are scarce, a transfer of knowledge to expand the skill level and confidence of other technologists is often impossible. This can impact clinical outcomes and prevents standardization.
