“…Rainford et al [ 147 ] identified that radiography students might not be fully confident in using PPE and suggested that practical training sessions be conducted before their placement—an approach that a Singapore academic institution adopted[ 123 ]. New norms of teaching HCPs have also been suggested by many authors ranging from virtual teaching[ 148 , 149 ], adoption of technology-based platforms[ 150 , 151 ], simulation and virtual reality[ 152 , 153 ]. Similar to qualified HCPs, medical students who are recruited to assist in a pandemic need to undergo specific training programmes.…”

In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), medical imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis, management and disease progression surveillance. Chest radiography and computed tomography are commonly used imaging techniques globally during this pandemic. As the pandemic continues to unfold, many healthcare systems worldwide struggle to balance the heavy strain due to overwhelming demand for healthcare resources. Changes are required across the entire healthcare system and medical imaging departments are no exception. The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on medical imaging practices. It is now time to pay further attention to the profound challenges of COVID-19 on medical imaging services and develop effective strategies to get ahead of the crisis. Additionally, preparation for operations and survival in the post-pandemic future are necessary considerations. This review aims to comprehensively examine the challenges and optimization of delivering medical imaging services in relation to the current COVID-19 global pandemic, including the role of medical imaging during these challenging times and potential future directions post-COVID-19.

The Covid-19 pandemic surges of 2020 resulted in major operational, personal, and financial impacts on US radiology practices. In response, a series of strategic and intentional operational changes were implemented, varying by practice size, structure and model. In reviewing the many business lessons that we learned during the pandemic, it became clear that for a business to be successful, a host of additional supportive factors are necessary. In addition to timely expense reductions, optimizing revenue capture and close monitoring and management of cash and reserves available for use, we also consider effective leadership and communication strategies, maintenance of a healthy and adequately staffed team, support for a remote work environment and flexible staffing models. Other ingredients include effectively embracing digital media for communications, careful attention to current and new stakeholders and the service delivered to them, understanding federal and state regulatory changes issued in response to the pandemic, close collaboration with the Human Resources office, and an early focus on redesigning your future practice structure and function, including disaster and downtime planning. This review aims to share lessons to enable leaders of an imaging enterprise to be better prepared for similar and future surges.

Introduction : La pandémie de COVID-19 a entraîné d'importants changements dans la prestation des programmes universitaires dans le monde entier. Les cours magistraux en face à face (enseignement traditionnel) ont été remplacés par des sessions en ligne, enregistrées ou en direct; cependant, les systèmes en ligne ne constituent pas un substitut efficace aux cours cliniques ou de laboratoire. L'objectif de cette étude est d'évaluer le point de vue des étudiants en imagerie sur la sensibilisation à la COVID-19 afin de s'assurer qu'ils sont préparés à la formation clinique et à l'enseignement en laboratoire, et d'évaluer la qualité de l'enseignement du programme de radiographie en ligne. Méthodologie : Une enquête en ligne a été menée auprès d'étudiantes en radiographie et en imagerie médicale de deux campus féminins des Émirats arabes unis (EAU). Le niveau de connaissance et de conscience de la COVID-19, comme les symptômes et les tests de diagnostic, a été évalué à l'aide de questions à choix multiples. L'échelle de Likert (1-5) a été utilisée pour évaluer la qualité de l'enseignement de l'apprentissage en ligne de la radiographie, comme la pensée critique et les compétences en communication. Des questions ouvertes ont été incluses pour permettre aux étudiantes de fournir des commentaires et des réactions. Résultats : Sur 305 étudiantes, 212 participantes (71%) ont répondu et ont été incluses dans l'étude. L'âge moyen était de 20 ans, et les répondants appartenaient à différents niveaux d'études (année 1 - année 5), avec 47 % et 53 % des participants du campus d'Al Ain et d'Abu Dhabi, respectivement. Soixante-dix pour cent des répondantes ont déclaré être titulaires d'une licence, tandis que 30 % étaient titulaires d'un diplôme supérieur. Le score moyen global du niveau de sensibilisation à la COVID-19 était acceptable (70%). Les étudiantes plus âgées ayant un diplôme de licence et une expérience clinique ont obtenu un score plus élevé que les autres (72 % contre 65 %, P<0,05). La valeur modale de l'échelle de Likert pour l'évaluation des facteurs d'enseignement (1-5) pour la plupart des répondants a montré une valeur de réponse moyenne (mode=3). Cependant, le mode pour le facteur de stress était élevé (mode=5). La satisfaction globale de l'enseignement de la radiographie en ligne pour les facteurs de qualité de l'enseignement était inférieure à 50 %. Cependant, plus de la moitié des répondantes (52 %) recommandent d'offrir le programme de radiographie à l'aide du système d'apprentissage en ligne. Discussion : La COVID-19 a imposé plusieurs défis aux systèmes éducatifs du monde entier, nécessitant la mise en œuvre de stratégies efficaces pour améliorer l'enseignement en ligne actuel. Une communication efficace entre les instructeurs et les étudiants, l'engagement des étudiants dans des discussions sur des études de cas, et l'encouragement des étudiants à penser de manière critique et à être créatifs sont des st...
