Stress is not just an emotional response to uncomfortable situations: it is a physical reaction with measurable consequences. In imaging, patient anxiety about diagnostic procedures may impact the accuracy and quality of exams, skewing or delaying diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, we know a lot about how these factors influence patient responses to imaging – and how we can help mitigate them. In this podcast we talk to Boris de Ruyter, a psychologist whose team has spent decades studying the impact of technology on people and Mary Beth Resimius, expert in people-centered imaging solutions. Listen in to learn about their research and how it can guide more patient-centered imaging.

Every healthcare service deals with the challenge of patients who, for whatever reason, don’t show up for appointments. In imaging, the issue is particularly significant. No-shows disrupt workflow and compromise expensive equipment and staff utilization. And beyond the obvious financial impacts, patient no-shows can have detrimental clinical ramifications, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment. A unique research collaboration between Dr. Puneet Bhargava at the University of Washington and Dr. Christopher Hall at Philips dug into the data around no-shows. In this podcast you’ll hear about the surprising things they learned as well as some innovative approaches to addressing the problem.
