MEETING DESCRIPTION:
In today's patient focused healthcare environment being just a "technical expert" isn't good enough! In order to "survive and thrive" in today's litigious medical environment technologists must expand their knowledge and role in medical legal issues, quality assurance, quality management, patient satisfaction, effective communication, and the inescapable quality standards of acceptability in imaging. As technology evolves it is transforming the delivery of medical services. With this change complex legal issues are becoming more common. Join us in looking at the legal issues raised by this medical revolution and the adaptation of old laws to meet new realities.
