Why commit to “QA Everyday” for your Ultrasound User QA?
QA is a mandatory activity – all ultrasound bodies agree. However, operational constraints and day-to-day pressures can often limit an organisation’s ability to implement, perform and audit QA.
“QA Everyday” goes beyond simply training staff or offering outsourced physics support. “QA Everyday” facilitates a change in ultrasound users behaviour so that ultrasound systems are compliant and patients are safe.
QA Everyday offers:
- Peace of mind: Daily & monthly checks find faults faster backed up with an annual independent audit
- Confidence: Users are empowered to check their systems everyday
- Safety improvements for patients
- Consistency: An easy to follow, standardised system endorsed by SCoR and BMUS that can be easily extended to other ultrasound departments.
- Improved Governance
- Enhanced professionalism: Users can assure patients and regulators they have employed a robust quality management system
- Onsite set up: staff do not have to set QA presets by reading manuals themselves
- Improved knowledge: Staff gain CPD credits
- Improved VFM on maintenance contracts
- Friendly support: Access to a dedicated scientific team & probe testing lab should a fault be found or reassurance sought.
