Introduction to the Program
Improve your knowledge of Clinical Imaging for Emergency and Critical Care through this program, where you will find the best teaching material with real clinical cases. Learn about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to provide excellent medical care"
In some medical activities, such as emergency and critical care, the interrelationship between the clinician and the imaging specialist is important.
In most hospitals, radiologists collaborate closely with emergency physicians and critical care staff, being in charge of sequencing, prioritization and administration of imaging techniques, but responding to their clinical needs.
Wherever a patient is and whatever their health problem, the result of this interrelation between specialists is impressive, since not only is the quality of the images obtained improved, but also morbidity and mortality are reduced.
Emergency and critical care clinicians and radiologists must know the indications and practical usefulness of imaging techniques, and know how to interpret the information derived from them.
This knowledge will have an impact on each of the six fundamental domains of the current concept of quality of care: patient safety, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, opportunity and humanization.
Patient safety, by reducing diagnostic errors and time-to-treatment intervals, and errors in therapeutic procedures.
Effectiveness and efficiency, by favorably modifying the "success at first attempt" in diagnoses and interventions, optimizing the cost/benefit ratio in decision making.
Equity, as they can be applied equitably in a short period of time to all patients in need.
Timeliness, for its ability to provide "here and now" the right answers to the questions required for better patient care.
Humanization, by facilitating the doctor-patient relationship with continuous care during travel to remote and unfamiliar places for the patient or during the intervention of specialists who are not usually involved in the patient's care.
