The recent ICE webinar “Developing a 3D Lab to Streamline CT Workflows” was presented by Jessica Chambers, MHA, RT (R)(CT).
She has 22 years of imaging experience with her career starting with the U.S. Air Force as a radiology and CT technologist. After an honorable discharge in 2007, Chambers continued her career with SSM Health as the Director of Clinical Operation Imaging Services, with oversight of three hospitals and four outpatient imaging centers. The webinar was eligible for 1.0 ARRT Category A CE credit by the AHRA (AHRA Reference: LEC12163).
This webinar sparked ideas around why a 3D lab might be beneficial for a CT department, especially for organizations that have multiple CT departments across various campuses. Staffing is a challenge in today’s health care climate, implementing a 3D lab can assist with revenue generation without adding additional hours to the CT schedule.
Chambers walked attendees through the steps her group took to justify this additional department and how it has allowed them to grow volume and revenue while improving technologist and radiologist satisfaction. At the conclusion of the webinar, attendees logged out with strategies to approach the C-suite about beginning a 3D lab journey within their organization.
Attendees provided feedback via a survey that included the question, “Why do you join ICE webinars?”
“Ease of attendance from my desk at times I can accommodate,” Cabell Huntington Hospital Inc. Director of Radiology Nancy Godby said.
“Learn about best practice and newer technology,” said Krissie Stich, Radiology Director, East Market, University Hospitals.
“Current knowledge of what is happening in our field,” said Michelle Cousino, Radiology Manager, University Hospitals.
“CE on topics of interest, this is my first webinar with ICE,” said Greg Laukhuf, RN Manager, UHCMC.
The Imaging Community Exchange (ICE) magazine continues to grow and part of the growth is the webinar series where imaging leaders can earn valuable continuing education (CE) credits.
