Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Policy
Neuroscience
Patient Safety

Background:

Neurodiagnostic technologists (NDTs) play a crucial role in patient care.
Their contributions to patient outcomes and safety are often not fully recognized or measured.
A standardized framework is needed to evaluate and support NDTs' work.

Purpose of the Study:

To honor Kathleen Mears's legacy by developing a framework to measure and recognize NDT patient care.
To align neurodiagnostic (ND) scope of practice with patient experience metrics and safety goals.
To guide policy and action to support the NDT profession.

Main Methods:

Reviewed the ND scope of practice as defined by ASET - The Neurodiagnostic Society.
Aligned NDT care with patient experience metrics (HCAHPS) and The Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs).
Outlined actionable steps for integrating ND into clinical practice.

Main Results:

Established a framework that measures and recognizes NDT patient care.
Demonstrated how ND procedures contribute to patient safety priorities like identification, communication, and harm prevention.
Provided recommendations for policy and practice integration.

Conclusions:

Making NDT contributions visible strengthens the profession.
This approach benefits patients and families through improved care and safety.
The proposed framework supports evidence-based policy and action for NDTs.
