Phase 6: Training
The training phase can take two weeks to two months and is dependent on the number of radiologists and users. Training is crucial as radiologists must be prepared and comfortable with the impending change to a generative AI reporting system.
Duration: 2 weeks - 2 months (dependent on organization size)
Approach
The training approach will be documented in a comprehensive training plan that outlines:
Training sub-phases
Scope
Required resources
Overall timeline
Training Model
Training will involve participants from across the organization, with a train-the-trainer model typically used to support radiologists and ensure scalable knowledge transfer.
Training Focus Areas
New System
Learning RADPAIR features and functionality
Reporting Templates
Understanding template structure and usage
Workflows and Processes
Updated workflows incorporating RADPAIR
The training timeline will be determined by the number of trainers and radiologists involved, as well as the mix of in-person and remote locations.
Trainers
Trainer Requirements
Trainers must have a strong understanding of the reporting workflow, as they will play a critical role in both radiologist training and go-live support. Their familiarity with real-world workflows enables them to provide practical guidance and effective assistance during the transition.
Organizations are encouraged to leverage existing internal trainers, as these individuals will continue to support training needs after the system goes live. Investing in their preparation ensures long-term sustainability and internal expertise.
