The radiology department is having an issue with patient transportat.docx
1. The radiology department is having an issue with patient
transportation not transporting patients back to their rooms after
their procedures have been performed. Sometimes patients wait
up to 30 minutes, which causes crowding and other issues for
the radiology staff. The patient transport unit says there is
inconsistent communication with radiology about patients who
are ready to be moved. Write a 2-3 page paper (in APA format)
which:
•Identifies some reasons for the inconsistent communication
•Explains how this issue may impact the quality of both services
•Determines what data both departments could share in order to
monitor patient transport
•Lists some benefits of the two departments sharing patient
transport data
