RDGY40880 RIS PACS Management III

Academic Year 2023/2024

The course entry requirements are an appropriate undergraduate degree qualification or equivalent plus completion of RIS PACS 1 (RDHY40850) and RIS/PACS 2 (RDGY40800). This module is of particular relevance to radiographers, radiation therapists, IT professionals and RIS/PACS personnel particularly those that have undergone RIS PACS I and II. This module utilises the RIS/PACS System Administrator and RIS/PACS manager skill sets to develop targeted clinical tasks supported by evidence based research. It is particularly developed to infer professional competence in RIS PACS administration. This will cover KPI assessment, workflow reengineering, risk management, system needs profiling, systematic operational tasks and reflection on both personal development and also that of the RIS/PACS speciality. The module will particularly focus on the clinical skills associated with the practise of RIS PACS Management and as such the student must have administrator privileged access to a live RIS/PACS system.
