Webinar:
The DIR is hosting a webinar at 1:00 p.m. CDT on the 29th to
review their new reporting formats. Dose Registry Support Services encourages
DIR facilities to register for this webinar by clicking on the following link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2608624724178001666
Details:
Effective this reporting period, the NRDR has significantly
changed the dose monitoring reports it provides to their enrolled facilities:
The NRDR has replaced the hard-copy, color-coded Excel Aggregate Reports with
a corresponding set of Interactive Aggregate Reports. The new,
Tableau-based, Interactive Aggregate reports offers facilities unprecedented
near real time and flexible access to their data in ways the fixed, hard-copy
Excel worksheets simply could not. These changes will alter the general
nature of what facilities receive directly from the DIR and what facilities
will be responsible for generating themselves.
Dose
Registry Support Services believes these are positive changes: The new
Tableau-based reports have advantages that the fixed, hard-copy Excel
worksheets did not have (albeit the hard-copy reports were easy to understand
and use). Having used the Interactive Reports for some time now, we find
them incredibly useful, but they are not without a learning curve.
The
challenge: The new report format requires facilities to self-generate some
of the reports the most useful reports that were previously compiled and sent
directly to them. Some facilities may find having to self-generate some of the
reports inconvenient and somewhat confusing, at least without some guidance.
Webinar:
To that end, the DIR is hosting a webinar at 1:00 p.m. CDT on
the 29th to review the new reports. Dose Registry Support Services
encourages its clients, customers, and friends to register and attend the
webinar, by clicking on the link in the first paragraph above.

Dose
Registry Support Services: Are you looking for a CT Dose Monitoring
solution or frustrated by the complexity of your current solution? Is your
current solution confusing to the point of non-use? If so, please consider
DoseID.
DoseID
is an affordable, turn-key CT Dose Monitoring service for hospitals, health
systems, imaging centers, and physician practices. Our DoseID service leverages
your participation in the ACR’s Dose Index Registry to comply with TJC’s
mandate to create Expected Dose Ranges for every study the identifies
individual exams that exceed their expected range, and it does so with little
daily impact on staff and without having to purchase more expensive third-party
solutions.
- Is your department struggling to understand or meet the Joint Commission’s requirement PI.02.01.01 requiring facilities to establish expected dose ranges for every CT exam, identify studies that exceeded the upper threshold, and then review and analyze CT dose incidents – incidents when the actual total dose exceeded your facility’s dose threshold for that exam?
- Did your facility purchase an expensive third-party platform only to discover it is too complex and difficult to use, often to the point it goes unused?
- If your facility purchased a third-party platform did it have to hire dedicated staff just to use it, or are you struggling to keep staff trained to use it?
- Is your department still trying to meet this requirement on your own, but finding it difficult and time consuming?
- Is department management and/or staff frustrated with your current solution?
- Is your facility spending more than $4,000 per year?
- Would you like a less expensive solution that actually provides you with actionable information your staff can use?
If you
answered “yes” to any of the above questions take a look at our DoseID
program. We provide a yearly service at a cost less than many facilities
spend in 1 to 3 months on other solutions, and we do most of the work for
you. No hardware or software to purchase; no upfront costs; and, no
long-term commitments.
Our DoseID
program is one of the most cost-effective and user-friendly CT dose
optimization programs available designed to meet the Joint Commission’s dose
incident identification requirements.
We are
able to do this because we leverage your participation in the ACR’s Dose Index
Registry. The DIR is a powerful tool, yet many facilities fail to
grasp its utility or take advantage of it. We help you leverage your
participation in it to optimize your doses and meet TJC’s requirements, and do
so at a fraction of the cost of other programs.
Don’t
misunderstand – the expensive third-party platforms are wonderful products,
particularly for health systems with large budgets and the staff to use
them. I would never discourage anyone from purchasing them if they have
the resources to purchase and use them. However, that is not the world many
small to mid-sized community hospitals find themselves in today. DoseID
is designed to meet the needs of facilities that want an effective program, but
one which is also affordable and easy to implement and
understand.
Our
service requires no up-front costs, no hardware or software to buy, and there
are no annual maintenance or support fees to pay. Because this is a service, we
do the work for you and work directly with staff to identify dose reduction
opportunities. Simple, but very effective. Click
