Video Transcription

Video Summary

In her presentation, Nadia Kadim underscores the importance of process mapping in improving radiology workflows. She explains that process mapping unifies teams, highlights inefficiencies, and aids in understanding complex workflows, such as after-hour CT scan protocoling. By visualizing processes, mapping identifies bottlenecks, enabling targeted quality improvements. Kadim emphasizes using a skilled team with diverse expertise and commercial tools for effective mapping. Through examples, she demonstrates how mapping reveals workflow issues and helps diagnose root causes. Ultimately, process mapping aids in convincing leadership for change, saving time and enhancing patient care.
