Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the key findings of the Philips Radiology Staff in Focus study. This new research sheds light on the pain points that exist specifically for radiology technologists and imaging directors working in the U.S., France, Germany and the U.K., and identifies areas where technology and informatics can deliver meaningful improvements to workflow, imaging results, and patient and staff satisfaction.
Across the four countries surveyed, radiology technologists and imaging directors expressed, on average, only moderate satisfaction with their jobs. With pressure on imaging departments mounting amid rising patient volumes and a global shortage of qualified staff, it is critical that health systems consider how to maintain or improve staff satisfaction to help minimize attrition.
