This is exactly what I had been looking for. I am sure this is true for many departments. We had started doing something like this on our own and it would have been helpful to have had this even sooner!
-Rasu S.
This manual is full of great information. I think it is a must have for a facility just implementing PACS for the first time.
-James K. I have been looking for a way to get our P&P; manual underway and this will do nicely.
-Jeff S. Just a review of this manual has already improved our existing policies and procedures by identifying a few I left out.
-Diane B. Attaching forms to a policy or procedure to allow easy and consistent access to the correct version and type of form is an invaluable tool.
