Preparing Your Staff for Onsite Applications 

Our experience clearly shows that the maximum transfer of knowledge occurs when no more than 4 of our participants 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

Preparing Your Department for Onsite Applications

Recommended department conditions:

• 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.
