How Do I Prepare My Staff?

Our experience clearly shows that the maximum transfer of knowledge occurs when no more than 4 of our customers work with the applications specialist throughout the entire training program.

We advise that the personnel selected should fulfill the following criteria:

• Relevant previous experience
• Good knowledge of medical technology and terminology
• Willingness to learn through meeting new challenges
• Ability to communicate skills to others
• Understanding of department routines

From an operational standpoint your department will benefit most by selecting those who will be primary operators of the system rather than those in a supervisory/management role.

Comprehensive preparation for the training program is essential to its success. Before training, selected personnel should:

• Study the Operator's Manual delivered with your system
• Ensure familiarity with relevant areas of technology and terminology through reading current literature
• Have their normal duties delegated for the training period

How Do I Prepare My Department?

We advise that:

• Room construction should be complete and all necessary permits granted
• System installation, calibration and performance testing is complete
• Open house visits and other staff training are not scheduled
• Instruction on ancillary equipment is completed before system training
• Department routine is organized to minimize interruptions
• Physicians and other personnel who may need to be present at times during the training are notified
• Imaging accessories, archive media and other supplies are available
• Patient exams are scheduled according to the training agenda

Note:If for any reason your department is not completely ready, please do not hesitate to reschedule training. Incomplete preparation may compromise the quality of the program and void the TiP Guarantee.
