Remote Scanning: How Would I Deploy It?

Speaker:Tobias Gilk, MRSO, MRSE 

Session Description: The dance has begun... everyone is talking about remote scanning, but when it comes to the *specifics* of how it can be done safely, most everyone either scratches their chin, muttering "that's a very good question," or points your attention in another direction as they quickly duck out from the conversation. Our current advanced imaging staffing inequities can't be solved with 'train more people'... at least not for several years, and we have care-limiting staffing problems today! How do we solve these problems?

In this presentation, we'll walk through the scope of the challenge, rethinking and rebuilding our historic workflows. We'll start with modeling the network of responsibilities and communication pathways, describe the mechanics of new roles, map out possible workflows that provide equal (if not better) patient care, and the steps to revamping your policies, procedures, and workflow models.

Learning Objectives:
understand the various platform and application models of remote scanning... when it does & doesn't affect patient care.
identify the aspects of 'the way we've always done things' that will need to be tweaked or rebuilt for a full remote operation (FRO) model.
understand a model of communication / workflow / responsibility that will facilitate a restructuring for remote (or any other changes).
