Abstract :

Description: In an era of unprecedented change in health care in the United States, radiology department consolidation and expansion is common. This lecture will describe a methodical process that can be followed to implement standardized imaging protocols during the expansion of an academic radiology department in the community. This template can be followed by other radiology sections, departments, and institutions considering expansion. At the end of this session attendees will be able to: 1) Identify the preliminary steps necessary in developing a well-designed imaging protocol. 2) Identify some of the anticipated challenges with implementing a standardized protocol across a large enterprise. 3) Identify tools for monitoring and maintaining the successful implementation of standardization.
