Moreover, the introduction of this new development will require the need for service management to liaise with the estates department and the suppliers over any building work or additional services that may be required along with equipment delivery and installation requirements and dates (RCR, 2013). While the benefits offered by stereotactic radiosurgery include the increased reduction of treatment related toxicity due to its high conformity, accuracy and improved patient clinical outcomes. However, its implementation in any department will also have resources and time implication on service delivery and so needs to be managed effectively (RANZCR, 2015). The impact of the implementation of Cyberknife on staff The impact of change in practice on staff has been well documented. Staffs are normally anxious when there is change in …show more content…
This will ensure that professional skills attained are relevant to practice needs in addition to ensuring that students are sufficiently prepared for practice (Henderson, 2011). However, some HEI have been suggested to have problems acclimatizing quickly since multiple levels of approval are required in order to achieve this (Berger, 2014). On the other hand, other HEI have experience of IGRT technologies and its application as a result of their constant partnership with clinical institutions involved in the use of advance IGRT techniques (Gibbs, 2011). Hence the use of other educational formats will not only accommodate the diverse learning styles of the staff but also provides reinforcing strategies (Stonehouse, 2015). New radiotherapy technology applications are mostly developed in practice and often learned on the go. Hence learning should be an individual responsibility although; it should be interactive (Henderson,
In the novel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, survival is a real thing in the story. Suzanne Collins presents a story of life about how people needs to bet their life so they can save their family and save their own life in a death game. It can be seen in the novel how Katniss is trying to survive in the Qurter Quell when she reaped back for the second time to fight in the arena. She has to face the people are skilled and smart to kill, through all the traps, trials and other challanges of the game that could be more danger for her life. After the first Hunger Games she had through before, makes her need to be stronger and be more careful in facing the enemies or other tributes and choosing the ally. Her skill in using an arrow is important
In order to successfully and effectively implement change all of the employees should have a good understanding of how the changes will benefit the organization, their positions, and how it might impact their routines. To many employees the implementation of change is not always properly communicated, and the process of change on paper as it is being implemented can be threatening as well as confusing. Also, the people behind the scenes making the changes may not have taken specific details into consideration regarding effective changes that perhaps the employees
In the mid-1960s, an era when Technology was rapidly advancing, it became important for all the Radiology professions governing bodies, ARRT, ASRT, and ACR, to increase the standards and level of training for Radiology professionals (Phillips, 2010). This advancement began to make the term “Technician” quite limiting. So, with more emphasis on professionalism and education, the term “Technologist” was born because it accurately reflected the Associate Society of Radiologic Technologist (ASRT) membership (Phillips, 2010). This development and classification also came with additional responsibility, where all Technologists have to adhere to the standards created by the ARRT.
It is common knowledge, that some people adapt to change very well and the others don`t. That`s why is so important to support the staff during the change because if they feel supported, they are more likely to be more open to accept changes and adapt to them quickly.
Last night, in sleepy hollow Ichabod Crane vanished, There is evidence to suggest Brom Van Brunt is to blame.
Change is a hard concept for most, but change in the hospital setting can be beneficial for both staff and patients. According to Mclean (2011), “Every change begins with an ending” (p.79). How people respond to change can make the process easy or hard depending on how the change is presented.
Advances in both radiography and radiation treatment keep on advancing and get to be more sophisticated. Cases incorporate digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in which, apparently, there is the potential for more prominent inclusion by radiographers and by radiation therapists in image guided radiation treatment. Looking even to the moderately later past underscores the degree to which change is happening in the radiography and radiation treatment work environment. Case in point, ten years prior it was radiologists who embedded cannulas for CT patients (AIR 2014, 1). Presently radiographers and attendants attempt the assignment. In private radiology hones, Australian radiographers now consistently embed central lines and do feature joint, shoulder, arm, and tendon infusions under supervision.
There will be undisputed pressures from staff to make changes succeed. As many staff and managers find change unnecessary, it is important to take the approach of selling an experience rather than change. This will allow staff to become involved in refining the analysis of change and of what possible improvements it could bring. Staff would then assume ownership of systems
Radiation Therapy does not just take a strong mind, or someone with compassion; it is also is a very technical field. I have grown up loving technology and always trying to understand different ways to utilize and understand new technology. I believe this skill will help me as a Radiation Therapist as technology is always evolving. Having an aptitude and appreciation towards this, will be an asset.
These changes are then reinforced to employees by the Charge Nurses in Morning Huddles and in special called Safety Huddles throughout the week. While management is very open to change, implementation of the changes must be carried out by the actual hands-on personnel, and this often times leads to fear of the unknown. As Yoder-Wise (2015) states, “All changes, whether perceived as positive or negative, large-scale or simply, are scary and generate fear” (p. 307). In the short time I have worked in the ED, I have seen both support and resistance among co-workers regarding change processes. While some embrace change, others resist, and are set in their ways viewing change as inconvenient and an addition of time-consuming steps to an already stressful environment. Most whom I work with, when presented with the facts and evidence behind the change, view it positively and have no problem implementing it.
Radiologic technology is a satisfying and rewarding career. It is a technical and refined science. As a radiological technologist, there are many essential duties and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to be a good one. First of all, radiological technologists have to maintain a well-mannered and professional behavior when gathering information. They have to assure their patients that they are in good hands therefore; they give patients the uppermost quality of care and services. Second of all, the main responsibility of a healthcare provider is to keep all knowledge of a patient’s health record confidential or secluded. That means radiological technologists cannot talk about patients at home or with friends and classmates
The merging of public expectations into a business model is not just about implementing change in an organization. It's about recognizing that change is for a reason of improving the wider social or community benefits and integrating bottom line profitability potentials. To make this happen, there has to be a blending of these values such that both elements of the new organization are realized an effort that is only now just beginning to happen (. Many organizations seem to want to achieve this goal even if it means moving their operations into the field of chaos where innovation gets to mix with opportunity.
In terms of education, enormous equipment and expensive yet high quality machines have always surrounded the College of Medical Radiation Technology (or CMRT). However, it is not just about the cost but also about their effectiveness and usefulness for the CMRT students. With these machines, students get to have hands-on activities that prepare them for when they take their internship in hospitals and as future health
Week 9 lecture on Individual learning we came across that in an organization learning derives from the individual learning from each member of the organization. Consequently, individual learning is crucial for organizational learning. Learning is defined as gaining knowledge or skill. Thus, learning incorporates two meaning 1) knowing how-to which is implies the ability to act and 2) Know-why, which shows the
Philosopher Kwame Gyekye defines the human affairs that means the experience of human beings. To distinguish relevant information and to dissect human activities, “essential universalism” and “contingent universalism” are defined its components and purpose with the limited discernment of humans and their undertakings.
