PACS Super User: What’s in it for the RT?
About this Program
PACS is one of the most important systems to patient care in healthcare.
PACS Administrators run the PACS but they need help from radiologic technologists in describing the problem, basic troubleshooting and helping the end users in their area. But why would a technologist want to do extra duty, or so they think?
This class will discuss the benefits of being a Super User for PACS which can help address minor user problems more quickly by the extra training and access they will get. Also, if the Super User has aspirations of becoming a PACS Administrator, this will give them PACS experience that could help quality for the job.
Your next step to become a PACS Administrator:
Take our in-depth 5-day PACS Administrator Course and get prepared for the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) exam.
