MRI Workplace; Yes and Knows of the Successful Technologist is organized by International Center for Postgraduate Medical Education (ICPME) and will be held from Mar 05, 2020 - Mar 31, 2024.

Educational Objective:
To educate attendees of the day-to-day workings of a Medical Imaging Facility specializing in the processing screening and preparation of the MRI Patient.

Outline:
Communication
• Front desk
• vigilance
• Repetitive errors
• Constant follow-ups to assure patient flow
• Arrival
• Barium, enterography
• Proactive informing of MR delay
• Take that moment and speak w patient directly, if possible, to defuse
• Take ownership of situation to prevent front staff contamination
• Overbearing sense of ownership
• Tactful dealings with aggressive personalities
• Some front staff will dictate how the order of patients show proceed
• STAT ERs are not preceded by outpatients
• Moving a patient up in the schedule to free up an earlier day end must be cleared with tech first
• What if IN patients are to be done in empty slots?
• Verbals,  i.e. labs, orders, authorizations (Auth).
• If you don’t have it physically I.e. scanned or on hand
• Option to continue and start scanning becomes tech liability
• Over a period of years, I have a handful of different scenarios
• All of which ended up being the tech’s problem should a verbal not materialize in time I.e. before the patient leaves

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
