Motivation: The ever-evolving complexities of implants, clothing and technology in MRI, combined with the increased recent reported safety incidents around the world, motivated us to reinvent our safety program.
Goal(s): Our goal was to create and institute a robust, multifaceted safety program that provides awareness into how each of us contributes to a safe environment in the MRI suite.
Approach: We assessed needs through surveys and observation. Support and education are provided via weekly emails, site visits, quarterly meetings, and clearly written policies.
Results: Greater technologist engagement through increased incident documentation, adoption of a safer workflow, and greater participation at safety meetings.
Impact: Got Safety??
We've created a path for achieving a successful culture of safety in the MRI suite for staff and patients utilizing a broad, collaborative and comprehensive process, which brings together the key elements of safety with increased staff commitment.
