Bill,, no the times are the expected schedule,, I make sure the protocol is followed on every exam.. make the diagnosis ,, no matter the age and experience of the tecnologist,,just like in surgery, its over when the patient is fixed !! Sorry to have given the wrong impression,,DeniseDenise, I still don't understand why time has ANYTHING to do with patient care. Care is care. Time is time. I suppose I am now too old, but I think trying to put them together is... sorry words escape me.

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.
