Hi guys,

Due to our large lab, we have a mix of both old and new techs who all do testing at different speeds (42 techs ranging from early 20s to 60’s in age).  Our issue is that the scan and reporting times are allotted for the slower techs which is creating a ton of down time and low productivity for the quicker techs.  That being said we also know that there are techs out there that if allotted an hour for a test, they will take the full hour regardless so we need to make changes to our scheduled times but do not want require techs to function at an unrealistic pace.  For the record we have mostly all newer GE machines (Logiq E9 or S8).

 

What are the timeslots everyone is using for their lab for the following studies (Including scan and Reporting times)?  Please note if you have heavy reporting or written worksheet reporting.

 

1-      CAROTID B/L

 

2-      B/L LOWER LIMB ARTERIAL DUPLEX with ABI

 

3-      U/L LOWER LIMB ARTERIAL DUPLEX with ABI

 

4-      AORTO ILIAC DUPLEX – no ABI and no evar/fevar surgery

 

5-      AORTOILIAC DUPLEX with ABI

 

6-      RENAL ARTERY DUPLEX B/L

 

7-      LOWER EXTREMITY VEIN MAPPING – No marking for CABG

 

8-      LOWER EXTREMITY VEIN MAPPING – With marking for BPG

 

9-      UPPER LIMB DIALYSIS VEIN/ARTERY MAPPING B/L

 

Thank you everyone in advance,
