| Popis: | PART 1 In the past 12 months, the radiology department at the University of Mississippi has developed a new interdisciplinary cardiac imaging program with an operational workflow bridging multiple technological, infrastructural, and budgetary constraints. Before the implementation of this new workflow, the department did not protocol imaging studies or individualize examinations for patients’ clinical indications. Because a single “comprehensive” protocol was used for all cardiac MRI examinations, image acquisition lasted about 2 hours, and the technologist called the radiologist with any questions. The purpose of this report is to describe how disparate operational elements can be combined to form a functional cardiac MRI service. Additionally, this project serves as an example of a practice quality improvement (PQI) project that residents can participate in or lead during training. |
