Radiology and emergency medicine residents improved patient care by collaborating on systems-based practice (SBP) initiatives. This real-world approach enhanced resident understanding of healthcare systems and problem-solving skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Systems Improvement
  • Radiology and Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Systems-based practice (SBP) is a challenging competency for radiology residents.
  • Patient dissatisfaction with emergency care, particularly long wait times for radiology procedures, highlighted a systems problem.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is essential for addressing complex healthcare systems issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a method for teaching and learning SBP in radiology residency.
  • To improve patient care by addressing prolonged wait times for radiology procedures.
  • To provide residents with a real-world opportunity to achieve SBP competency through interdepartmental collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • Identified and categorized systems problems within emergency care and radiology workflows.

  • Collected data on patient transport and maintained accurate time logs for radiology studies.
  • Analyzed data in interdepartmental meetings to plan and implement three specific improvements.

    • Main Results:

    • Established direct communication between radiology and emergency medicine via dedicated phone line.
    • Initiated a joint emergency medicine/radiology teaching conference and hired additional transport personnel.
    • Residents demonstrated enhanced understanding of their roles, improved problem-identification and implementation skills, and strengthened professional relationships.

    Conclusions:

    • The implemented method effectively integrated educational and patient care goals using real-life experiences.
    • Residents demonstrated competence in SBP, patient care, professionalism, and interpersonal skills.
    • This approach is recommended for efficiently integrating SBP into clinical practice.
