Strategic Communication Plan

I’m a valley girl, a Santa Maria Valley girl to be exact! Naturally, then, I chose to fulfill my shadowing requirements at Santa Maria’s newly built Marian Regional Medical Center. I needed to see for myself what human kindness, paired with a state-of-the-art hospital, offering advanced technologies, is truly all about. On Wednesday, October 6, 2016, I had the privilege of spending eight hours exploring six different modalities conducted within Marians Radiology department. It was an opportunity that I took full advantage of; a truly invaluable experience.

Cleveland Clinic Science Internship Program, Radiology (2016) This is a nine-week, paid internship for rising high school juniors and seniors who attend school in Northeast Ohio. This internship gives students the ability to work with nationally-renowned physicians, researchers, and other healthcare professionals. Students are given the opportunities to focus on research, innovation, education, and development of better, more efficient ways to achieve quality in patient care. I had the opportunity to shadow and assist in every specialty of Fairview Hospital’s Radiology Department and completed a research

The Patton-Fuller Community Hospital runs this type of photo technology to be able to determine what the situation is with patients that are requiring images to determine the problem that the patient is facing (Apollo Group, 2011).

The first couple weeks of school are always the most stressful. They get you thinking about how the semester is going to be and different ways to get you motivated. However, the beginning of this semester is probably one of the most stressful semesters that I have encountered because being a part of the radiography program is a very big achievement. It is a program where I know I will have to be ahead of the game the whole two years, which keeps me on my feet. Throughout this paper I am going to discuss the reasons why I wanted to enter into the program, and the things that I have learned so far along with my short-term and long-term goals.

Hospitals seeking to outsource their diagnostic imaging services: they demand service reliability, access to the diagnostic equipment 24 hours per day, seven days per week and reasonable cost

According to the Society of Radiographers (2016) Imaging staff have an important role in health promotion as they are well placed to influence patients’ choices regarding their medical and lifestyle choices.

There is significant demand for MRI scans in the United States. The annual scan rate is approximately 68 per 1000 people. It is anticipated that the demand for MRI scans in Adelaide County will continue to grow at approximately 15 percent per year. In addition, the Cancer rate of Adelaide County is higher than the national average, making this partnership with BCMC a sustainable business decision for Quinte.

There is one local hospital in the region that is the only source of medical care for the community. Therefore, the primary care clinic and mobile medical clinic will be staffed with a Physician, Registered Nurse and Community Health Worker (CHW). This team will provide a variety of services, including: primary care, urgent care, chronic disease management, immunizations, HIV and TB screenings, family planning and maternity support services, WIC, well-child programs and referrals to social services.

At the same time, the future of radiology represents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for radiologists. The articles clarify some of the potential aspects for future growth with regard to the utilization of IT in radiology. For example, many image producers believe that the report is the significant work product. To these individuals, the images are solely for the use of the diagnostic interpreter. From this perspective, distribution of images is unnecessary. Although radiologists, for the most part, have embraced the sharing of images, other image producers, such as cardiologists and pathologists, have not. Overcoming this perceptual hurdle is necessary to implement a comprehensive enterprise imaging strategy. The technological revolution enabling PACS has also created platforms for teleradiology. Because radiologists no longer require proximity to clinical colleagues or patients, teleradiology makes care possible in remote locations where radiologists may not be physically

The study population includes 50 retrospective CCTA patients, both genders, who have undergone CCTA in the past year at this institution. Patient selection is done using the date of CCTA scan. Selections started on 1 September 2015 and went back in time until dose indicators on total of 50 adult patients are collected at this institution or at least 20 patients for each scanner if more scanners are available. There are no exclusion criteria and no patients are rejected based on their

There are over 1.1 million men and woman amateur and pro bodybuilders alone in the United States. The IFBB has competitors age ranges from as young as 16 years to as old as 83 within a range categories for competition, The NutiBullet Pro is a necessary tool to assist the competitors in preparing for competitions fulfilling a need for a quick, convenient and easy way for bodybuilders to create their protein shakes, whey smoothies or one of their required 6 to 7 meals a day.

Although today’s imaging technologies are high quality and accuracy, it outpaced the development of operational processes surrounding diagnostic imaging services. Many organizations face delays in report turn-around time and a backlog of patients waiting for appointments. Negative results of diminished capacity and productivity include: delay in diagnosis and treatment, emergency department bottlenecks. They lead to increased length of stay, patient and referring
