Kristianstad Hospital increases reporting capacity and improves working conditions for their radiologists at the same time

June 2006 - Kristianstad hospital in southeast Sweden was faced with a lack of capacity for daytime cases while their radiologists spent a lot of their time reporting on out-of-hours or on-call cases. The hospital performed 85,000 exams a year with a large number of trauma cases. Adhering to the EU working-time directive, the radiologists who worked on-call were not allowed to work the following day after performing their on-call duty. This inevitably meant that Kristianstad hospital were short on staff to handle daytime cases. The backlog started to grow tremendously and waiting times increased.

Training and support was another issue. Since on-call production required a substantial number of radiologists at a time, residents found it hard to coordinate and work with senior consultants for training purposes. Opportunities for training and support were scare.

TMC stepped in to support Kristianstad hospital on on-call reporting. With a center based in Sydney and leveraging the time difference between Australia and Europe, TMC’s awake and alert radiologists were able to perform nighttime reporting (from 22:00 to 07:00) for the hospital four days per week. The reports were written in Swedish into the hospital’s RIS system. Relieving radiologists from on-call shifts meant that they could then work on daytime cases. In addition, with a full staff during daytime hours, residents were able to receive training and support from their senior consultant colleagues.

“We’ve managed to overcome several problems at once through our cooperation with TMC. With their on-call support during nighttime hours four days a week, we are now able to have more radiologists available for daytime shifts. This means a lot to us as our radiologists now work during more humane hours while they are awake and alert. Just as important is the fact that our residents can now receive proper training from their senior peers.”
