Engaging in Multidisciplinary Teamwork for Quality and Safety initiatives in Radiology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The talk emphasizes that radiology quality and safety problems are system problems best solved by multidisciplinary teams. Because radiology involves many stakeholders across ordering, preparation, imaging, interpretation, and communication, collaboration improves innovation, practical solutions, sustainability, and buy-in. Effective teams have shared goals, clear roles, psychological safety, and regular communication. Recommended team members include radiologists, technologists, nurses, scheduling/front desk staff, IT, QI specialists, referring clinicians, leadership, patients, and advocates. Engagement strategies include starting with meaningful problems, using structured QI tools, frequent data sharing, remote participation, and celebrating progress.
