Quality management is also an important part of mam-mogra phy and compliance with the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). Quality management requires a working knowledge of the quality improve ment (QI) process and tools, quality control (QC), equipment testing a nd regulatory guide-lines. You will learn the basics of the quality ma nagement process from the theoretical to practical application. A comb ination of experts will introduce you to the fundamentals of QM. You w ill learn from the pros how QM has evolved and how QI has changed. You will receive “hands-on” application in designing QI monitors for your facility. You will learn how a well-designed QM program will impr ove imaging quality and patient care.\nIn addition to the QC testing r eview, you will participate in a field trip to perform a portion of th e QC tests listed in the ARRT QM clinical competencies required for th e advanced level QM examination. All students will progress through th e application phase of training at their own rate.\nAdvanced Health ca n provide the opportunity to meet some of the clinical competency requ irements for the ARRT Ad-vanced Level Exam for Quality Management, but cannot guarantee the competency can be met. The performance of each c ompetency is dependent upon the participant’s individual skill level .\nCourse TopicsDay 1 • Physical Principles of X-ray• Principles o f Computed Radiography• Principles of Digital Radiography• Digital exposure indicators and values• Quality Control in Radiology• ACR Mammography Quality Control Testing• Analog and digital mammography quality control testing\nDay 2• Quality Management Philosophy• Qu ality Improvement• QC Tools, Information Collection, Data analysis Student development of QI Monitors• Analysis of QI Monitors• Cre ation of Mock Graphs & Charts to Demonstrate the QI Monitor Process• Review of Monitors and Charts• OSHA Standards and Guidelines• HIP AA Compliance• Safe Medical Devices Act• NCRP Rules and Regulation s for QC\nDay 3• Radiographic Equipment Quality Control Tests – Fi lm Based and Electronic Images• “Hands-On” Equipment Testing• Field Trip to Clinical Site with the Opportunity to Perform “Hands-O n” QC Testing and Observe a Demonstration of QC Testing.\nSelf Asses sment Module (SAM): No\nInstructors:David Clayton, MSRS, RT(R)(QM)\nSp ecialty Audience:Radiology\n\nFor more information visit https://commu nity.radrounds.com/events/quality-management-fellowship-5 DTSTART:20121004T040000Z DTEND:20121007T035900Z CATEGORIES:radiology LOCATION:Advanced Health Education Center WEBSITE:http://aheconline.com/ URL:http://aheconline.com/ CONTACT:(800) 239-1361 ORGANIZER:Advanced Health Education Center ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="radRound s Radiology Events":https://community.radrounds.com/profile/radRoundsR adiologyEvents END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
