Presenter: Josh Block, BA in Business Management/Marketing – President, Block Imaging
Many of us didn’t fully understand what we were signing up for when we took on the mantle of leadership. In this session, we’ll talk through the responsibilities and rewards of leadership, while also taking time to tackle some tough questions that people are facing and “re-up” as leaders. Let's go!

Extraordinary Thinking Creates Extraordinary Experiences

Leadership is not a title but action you exhibit daily through being the example. The foundation for extraordinary leaders comes down to extraordinary thinking. How you think creates the action you take in the moment as part of the process that leads to desired results. This foundation starts with building a growth mindset that embraces a process to become the example with certain habits and disciplines. This inspires others to be responsible and accountable for their own tasks so they can come together and form an interdependent work environment. Transparent leaders create other leaders to build momentum and sustain growth over time. Even through difficult periods of time. Come learn the methodology how to think from a growth mindset to become an extraordinary leader.

2021: The Year of MRI Safety

Presenter: Tobias Gilk, M.Arch, MRSO, MRSE – Senior VP and Founder, RAD-Planning and Gilk Radiology Consultants
In 2001 the radiology world was rocked when young Michael Colombini died when a portable oxygen tank was brought into the MRI room (and was pulled from the anesthesiologists hands, striking Michael in the face and head). That accident prompted to formation of the ACR's MRI Safety Committee, and the publication of the original 'White Paper on MR Safety.' In the 20-years since that accident, we've seen massive shifts in MRI technology, clinical application, reimbursement and revenue, new licensure and accreditation requirements, and safety training resources.
This session will seek to identify what the MRI safety challenges were in 2001, look at how they've changed in the 20 years since, and identify both problems and solutions to our current situation. The evaluation will look at ways that the seismic shifts in MRI technology and usage have reshaped the risk profile. We'll also discuss perhaps the most direct step every manager can take, and that is designating specific individuals with responsibility for the development and adherence to MRI safety best practices.

The Many Languages of Data: An Exercise to Drive Change

Speaking the same language and working collaboratively on any project is critical to its success, along with ensuring that all team members have the same understanding of the scope, purpose, and goal of the project from the start. Whether evaluating staffing levels, patient access, asset utilization or supply costs, all process improvement initiatives start with data gathering to evaluate current state and set the stage for improvement. Using a common data language and building on a past presentation, “The many languages of data: Finding a common dialect to drive change” this session will use sample data reports to evaluate an imaging department’s metrics and sample projects in an effort to avoid common mistakes. Finally, we will review how to craft the most effective message using the best medium.
