How Do I Prepare My Staff?

Our experience clearly shows that the maximum transfer of knowledge occurs when no more than 2 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.
