Nursing work procedures, Radiology, Patient safety, Quality care, technologiesAbstract
Preprocessed work procedures within radiology nursing departments are crucial regarding patients' safety, leading time, and the quality of services delivered. This paper examines the development of these procedures by conducting a literature review in addition to survey and interview questionnaires and observation of the radiology nurses and radiology departments. The research results reveal how crucial it is to have standardized procedures, difficulties experienced by nurses, and changes in the application of IT advances on staff productivity and patient outcomes. Some suggestions concerning enhancing the nursing procedures in radiology are provided, with the attention drawn to regular training and the use of the technologies.
