A Study to Determine Improvements in Communication and Coordination Between the Departments of Radiology and Clinical Laboratory of Mobile Infirmary, Mobile, Alabama

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve communication and coordination between the departments of radiology and clinical laboratory of Mobile Infirmary, Mobile, Alabama. Two distant problem areas were studied by the investigator. First, What are the improvements to the network that could be effected? and second, What can be done to reduce the handling of request forms? The methodology used in conducting this study was the same for both problems: current health care literature was reviewed, and personal observation of the present network was conducted. With regard to the first problem, a flow chart was amplified by discussion of the components contributing to the network. The second problem was resolved by recommending redesign of the request forms to reduce handling.
