Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.3K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

625
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

8.1K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

1.2K
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray01:20

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

645
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Health Services Research
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Traditional radiology operates on a
  • doctor-to-doctor
  • consultant model, often distanced from patients and lacking patient-centeredness.
  • Healthcare is increasingly patient-driven, emphasizing patient self-reliance and involvement in decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a transformation in radiology practice towards a patient-centered care model.
  • To highlight the necessity for radiologists to become active participants in patient care.
  • To explore how patient-centered care can mitigate threats like commoditization and cost pressures in medical imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the current radiology business model.
  • Discussion of the principles of patient-centered care.
  • Argument for the integration of direct patient interaction into radiology services.

Main Results:

  • Shifting to patient-centered care requires transforming the traditional business model to reintegrate radiologists into direct patient care.
  • Reorganizing imaging processes around patient needs and preferences is crucial.
  • Expanding direct patient care can deter commoditization and improve overall healthcare value.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists must evolve beyond being mere consultants to become active partners in patient care.
  • Adopting a patient-centered approach offers significant benefits, including improved quality, safety, outcomes, and satisfaction.
  • Adapting to a patient-focused model is essential for radiologists to thrive amidst evolving healthcare landscapes and cost containment efforts.
