Display Conformance and Calibration Service for Medical Imaging Displays

Participants were able to see how the on-site technical service provides healthcare facilities with conformance, calibration, testing, and maintenance of medical imaging displays.

"More than ever, Healthcare IT [information technology] professionals and PACS [picture archiving and communication systems] administrators are realizing the importance of QC/QA for their displays,” said Dan Verbsky, Richardson Healthcare's director of professional services. "Proper and routine calibration of diagnostic imaging displays is not only critical to providing a high standard of patient care, but it also allows hospitals the ability to meet guidelines for maintaining patient safety and regulations.”

The TekLink QC/QA service performs on-site testing, conformance, and calibration routines with a U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology- (NIST)-tested photometer, and provides the site with a report of each display systems' status. Richardson Electronics Professional Services team also trains healthcare facility staff to institute their own customized QC/QA program, based on their department or facility's specific requirements.

According to Mr. Verbsky, "Richardson Electronics is extremely well positioned to support this demand. Each hospital can choose which level of QC/QA service best suits their needs, allowing them to meet conformance requirements within existing budgetary constraints.”

TekLink QC/QA is offered in three service levels, based on the total number of workstations, how they are configured, and the frequency of visits required per year.
