Download or read book Quality Appraisal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography Education written by Kimberly Sorrentino (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lot of variability in the field of diagnostic medical sonography and this can potentially have a negative impact upon the delivery of high-quality patient care. Bernhardt and associates (2003) commented on the lack of widespread acceptance for specialized accreditation in health education and Babcock (2016) mentioned the lack of research on effectiveness as a possible reason why. This outcomes-focused analysis, which compared exam performance by sonography educational pathway, was purposefully designed to begin to address this research gap. The Lumina Foundation Quality Credentials Task Force’s Conceptual Model of Credential Quality: From Design to Outcomes (Humphreys et al., 2019) guided this study. This framework highlights quality assurance by integrating individual and societal outcomes with educational design, policies, and practices focused on student success, equity, and cross-sectional collaboration (Humphreys et al., 2019). Credentialing exam performance, as an individual outcome, was the focus of this study and this provided insights into sonographer entry-level knowledge. This awareness about entry-level knowledge, in turn, may have an impact on the quality of sonograms provided to patients, a societal outcome. This was a quantitative, secondary data analysis that was conducted on a nationwide, high-quality dataset obtained from a sonography credentialing agency to compare the credentialing exam performance of applicants through different educational pathways. This study included three primary and two secondary research questions and the aim was to determine if there were differences in exam performance by educational pathway, specialty exam, exam year, age, gender, and geographical location. The dataset included pass rates and exam scores for 70,403 first-time abdomen, adult echocardiography, breast, obstetrics/gynecology, and vascular technology specialty exam test-takers from 2012 to 2018 who had applied through five prerequisite pathways. Descriptive and inferential statistics were completed, with the inferential analyses including both chi-square and ANOVA tests. The findings demonstrated many statistically significant differences in first-time exam performance. The first-time test-takers who possessed a bachelor’s degree in sonography or completed a sonography program with specialized accreditation consistently achieved the highest pass rates and/or mean exam scores. In addition, many analyses showed that exam performance significantly increased over time and that exam performance was significantly impacted by applicant geographical location. A number of analyses also showed that exam performance decreased as the age category increased and that females outperformed males. These findings have important implications for sonography students, educators, professional societies, credentialing agencies, employers, and patients and the study led to noteworthy recommendations for practice and policy.

Download or read book Errors in Radiology written by Luigia Romano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. The aetiology of radiological error is multi-factorial. This book focuses on (1) some medico-legal aspects inherent to radiology (radiation exposure related to imaging procedures and malpractice issues related to contrast media administration are discussed in detail) and on (2) the spectrum of diagnostic errors in radiology. Communication issues between the radiologists and physicians and between the radiologists and patients are also presented. Every radiologist should understand the sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.

Download or read book Jump Starting a Career in Ultrasound and Sonography written by Corona Brezina and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Give your readers an essential guide to careers in ultrasound and sonography. Diagnostic medical sonographers perform ultrasound procedures that direct high-frequency sound waves into the body. The returning sound waves can be converted into an image of the body's internal structures. The most familiar use of ultrasound is in visualizing the fetus of a pregnant mother, but ultrasound has numerous medical applications. Many diagnostic medical sonographers specialize in particular areas of imaging, including neurosonography and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Sonographers can earn a good salary in this fulfilling career upon completion of a two-year program. Because ultrasounds are low-risk procedures that yield real-time images, sonography is an in-demand field with bright prospects for increased job growth.
