Patient Safety: Whose Job Is It Anyway?
A Radiology Tragedy

As a Radiology Director, Administrator, Radiation Safety Officer and now owner of a medical imaging education company, I have always received numerous questions about job responsibilities, liabilities, and what job safety requirements are considered acceptable for every modality in medical imaging. I have witnessed and been involved in life altering incidents for patients. This begs the question; whose job is it anyway to ensure the patient’s safety?

With the prolific advancements in social media and technology, our world seems to get smaller and smaller every day. No other event in history can illustrate that point more than the global COVID-19 pandemic. As healthcare professionals we have witnessed first-hand the devastating losses caused by this pandemic but there have also been positive aspects born out of necessity that bear mentioning.

Just 3 years ago I was sitting at this computer writing a blog 12 days after the Hurricane Harvey disaster. Now we are in a new disaster of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are still happy to report that everyone in our AHEC family is safe as far as we know. Every day is a new experience and we, as much as everyone else, face new challenges every day. While we are physically ok, we are still coping with the psychological changes of how to operate within the new realities.
