Quality Committee (SNMMI-TS)

Quality Initiative

To ensure technologists are prepared for future challenges, the Technologist Section is in the midst of a multi-year Quality Initiative.

This initiative will enhance quality through education and training and raise awareness of quality through advocacy, leadership, public relations, outreach, and collaboration. These efforts will arm today’s practicing technologists with the tools required to provide an excellent patient experience and will demonstrate the high quality and safety of nuclear medicine procedures.

Committee Charges, 2021-22:

  1. Develop a Quality Survey to identify metrics (KPIs) used routinely in nuclear medicine to assess quality.
  2. Work to create education, etc. for gap areas (as identified in the survey) and develop a working document for reference and publication.
  3. Develop educational materials and presentations/webinars related to improving quality in nuclear medicine/molecular imaging.
  4. Meet with stakeholders to ensure buy-in and collaboration to move the initiative forward.
