Patient comfort is becoming a higher priority for hospitals, and the reasons are three-fold: It boosts patient satisfaction, improves outcomes and is the right thing to do. Radiology Professionals understand that comfort before, during, and after an examination is important for both the patient and for good image quality, and many health care manufacturers have boosted their efforts to create equipment and accessories that make the patient experience more comfortable. There are three primary reasons that those in Medical Imaging should focus on patient comfort and care. First, if a patient is comfortable, they are more likely to hold still, therefore facilitating a better diagnostic image and less repeats. Second, patients who are made more comfortable during their care are imaged more quickly which increases the throughput in a room. Third, a patient who has a good experience is more likely to come back to the imaging center when they need additional care or tell others about how caring the facility was.
Imaging Departments are increasingly recognizing the connection between patient comfort and business success is more than just having state-of-the-art equipment. Having imaging related products that provide stability and comfort for the patient are extremely important and products that meet infection control guidelines are just as important. Having products in the department that improve patient satisfaction and don’t interfere with imaging is always a win win situation.
