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.

1

Identify Trainers

Select internal trainers who have strong understanding of reporting workflows and will continue to support training after go-live.

2

Train the Trainers

RADPAIR provides comprehensive training to your identified trainers, ensuring they can deliver consistent, high-quality instruction.

3

Schedule Radiologist Training

Radiologist training should be scheduled as close to the go-live date as possible to maximize retention and readiness.

4

Deliver Hands-On Training

Hands-on radiologist training is mandatory and should closely replicate real-world reporting scenarios.

Training Focus Areas

Area	Description
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.

Training Session Requirements

Requirement	Description
Timing	Schedule as close to go-live as possible
Format	Hands-on training is mandatory
Environment	Preconfigured for each radiologist with specialty-specific worklist, studies, and order information
Scenarios	Closely replicate real-world reporting scenarios

Monitoring

Training compliance is critical to the overall success of the project and requires diligent tracking of attendance and timely reporting to leadership.

Tracking Requirements

1

Track Attendance

Maintain detailed records of who has attended training sessions and who remains outstanding.

2

Report Weekly

Incorporate weekly training updates into project status reports, including detailed training statistics.

3

Escalate Non-Compliance

Share updates with leadership team to ensure proactive follow-up with those who have not completed training.

100% training compliance is mandatory. This phase is essential to a successful go-live. Clear visibility into participation ensures readiness across the organization and supports proactive issue resolution.

Training Status Report Elements

Element	Description
Completed	Number and names of users who have completed training
Outstanding	Number and names of users who still need training
Scheduled	Upcoming training sessions with attendee lists
Compliance Rate	Percentage of required users trained

Training Plan Components

Your training plan should include:

• Training objectives and scope
