Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Informatics
  • Medical Education
  • Radiology Department Management

Background:

  • Healthcare professionals' competency demonstration is crucial for hospital administration and accreditation.
  • Traditional competency exercises are often perceived as burdensome by staff.
  • Ineffective training processes can hinder competency development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an effective training program for a radiology information system (RIS).
  • To improve staff competency in using the RIS.
  • To reduce the burden associated with competency exercises.

Main Methods:

  • A training program was designed for a RIS used by over 200 imaging department staff.
  • Subject-matter experts (SMEs) were identified and involved in content development and testing.

  • Training materials included a computer-assisted, self-learning manual (SLM) and a pocket guide.
  • Training was delivered through workshops with feedback incorporated for revisions.

    • Main Results:

    • The RIS SLM training project was highly successful, with average core-skills test scores exceeding 90%.
    • 75% of current staff, including radiology students, were trained in the initial phase.
    • Yearly cost savings of approximately $35,000 were realized by using SLM workshops over on-the-job training.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed RIS training program, emphasizing SME input and a self-learning manual, proved highly effective.
    • The program successfully enhanced staff competency and yielded significant financial benefits.
    • Key success factors included a detailed timeline, SME contributions, pilot testing, and positive staff attitude.
