ASPECT OF CARE Radiological service POLICY Gannett will provide diagnostic radiological service as required for the examination and treatment of Gannett patients with the least possible radiation dose and discomfort to the patient. Gannett will only accept x-ray orders from persons defined by the NYS Department of Health as a professional practitioner, per Chapter I Part 16 of the State Sanitary Code. At Gannett, this gives an MD, DO, NP, or PA the authority to order x-rays. RNs may order x-rays of the chest for administrative reasons, i.e., +ppd., visa requirements, etc. and may order x-rays of the wrist distally to fingers or ankle distally to the toes; to expedite patient care--under the direct order of a professional practitioner. Faculty and staff presenting with orders from off-site clinicians must be informed that our arrangement with the radiologists is that they will only read Gannett films ordered by Gannett. Any other films that they read are done on a fee-for-service basis through Cayuga Medical Center. In most cases, nonstudents with off-site x-ray requisitions need to be referred to the hospital. It is important to be aware that in cases of a disability or other unusual circumstances, there is some flexibility in this policy and the judgment of the Associate Directors for Medicine or Nursing and Clinical Support Services, or other administrator should be sought. DEFINITIONS Professional Practitioner Any person licensed or otherwise authorized under the New York State Education Law to practice a professional practice medicine, dentistry, podiatry, osteopathy, or chiropractic. RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENTS Radiology PROCEDURES Requisition from Off-Site Practitioners RAD Requisitions from off-site clinicians for students will be honored if they contain the following:
6 (a) Patient s name (b) Part to be x-rayed (c) Diagnosis or clinical findings (d) Clinician s name and signature RAD A copy of the requisition is to be scanned into the medical chart. RAD.02.7 REVISION HISTORY May 2010, February 2011, September 2011, March 2012, August 2013

ASPECT OF CARE Provision of timely clinical support services POLICY Safe and efficient patient flow will be a priority. Procedures should be in place to optimize patient flow. DEFINITIONS n/a RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENTS Radiology PROCEDURES Requests and Referrals RAD Requests are entered into Point and Click system by an attending clinician with specific clinical findings entered into the note area as well as related diagnosis. RAD Emergency patients or possible TB patients should be referred via phone call by the floor nurse or receptionist and the technologist will meet the patient in Level 2 waiting room. RAD The technologist must be notified in advance and extra time must be allowed if a decubitus chest film is requested. RAD Patient Flow RAD The patient will present to Radiology and check in with the receptionist, who will alert the technologist. In the absence of the receptionist, the patient will ring the x-ray doorbell to alert the technologist. RAD Very sick, injured, or light-headed patients should be escorted by a nurse to Radiology in a wheelchair. RAD When the radiographic exam is complete, the patients will be instructed to go to their referring clinician s level and check in with the receptionist. RAD Staff members who escort patients to Radiology by wheelchair should wait until the patient s exam is completed and escort the patient back to
8 the appropriate level. RAD.03.7 REVISION HISTORY May 2010, February 2011, September 2011, March 2012, August 2013

ASPECT OF CARE Safe and efficient patient flow POLICY n/a DEFINITIONS n/a RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENTS Radiology PROCEDURES Conducting the Exam RAD Processing Clinician Orders (a) Technologist will locate patient s order in Point and Click (b) Check information for accuracy and omissions (c) Right-click or double-click accession order RAD Go to RIS to select patient schedule. Order should then go to DR3500. RAD Prepare Patient for Exam (a) If patient is female, ask if pregnant (b) Evaluate patient s condition as to how the exam is to be satisfactorily performed with the least possible discomfort and radiation dose to the patient. (c) Instruct patient for the procedure and attire (or lack of it) for exam. RAD Performing the Exam (a) Position patient for appropriate views needed to demonstrate the anatomy in question. Place R (ight) or L (eft) lead markers on film to identify anatomy (markers also identify technologist by their initials). (b) Shield patient s gonadal areas which are not overlying the area in question with lead. There should be evidence of collimation to the specified body part according to the New York State Department of Health. (c) Set technique necessary to penetrate the part to be examined, and get the best possible detail on the image with the least possible radiation dose to the patient.
10 (d) Instruct the patient on holding breath, holding still, etc. (e) Take the exposure. RAD RAD RAD RAD RAD.04.7 Accept or reject images. Because of the absence of a radiologist on-site the technologist must assure that the quality of the exam is optimum and repeat if necessary. This then sends images to the PAC s. From RIS, select exam done. This alerts Point and Click billing. Send any pertinent information via RIS to radiologist for his interpretation of the films daily (M-F). The radiologist will dictate and sign reports from RIS. Transcribe reports by entering into RIS. REVISION HISTORY May 2010, February 2011, October 2011, March 2012, August 2013

The attending clinician and the technologist shall ask each female patient of child bearing age if there is any possibility of pregnancy. Radiography of the lower back, abdomen or pelvis shall be confined to the 10 days after onset of menses, or after administration of Implanon, Depo-Provera, or an IUD in women of child-bearing age. If the patient states there is no possibility of pregnancy, radiography of other body parts may be done at any time provided the exposure is limited to the particular area of interest by collimation and shielding. Patients Who Are or May Be Pregnant RAD For patients who are or may be pregnant, the clinician is called to determine the urgency of the exam and whether it can be postponed until after delivery or onset of menstruation, or whether it should be
12 performed with maximum lead shielding. RAD If the exam ordered is that of lower back, abdomen or pelvis it should be avoided completely, if possible. RAD In either case, the clinician is to note this in the patient s chart. RAD RAD.05.7 Any occurrence which requires the holding of a patient shall be documented on an Occurrence Report and submitted to Administration within 24 hours.
