Repeat Radiograph Policy

The following process will be implemented whenever a student is involved with a procedure where radiographic view(s) need to be repeated:

• The technologist evaluates the radiographic image(s) and reviews with the student the steps needed to correct the situation.
• The technologist will directly observe and, if necessary, assist the student in repeating the required views.
• The technologist will evaluate the radiographic images with the student. If the images are of satisfactory quality, the technologist will document the appropriate information on the requisition.
• The student and technologist document the repeated view by filling out a Repeat Card. The Repeat Card contains the following information: Patient information, student name, procedure, reason for repeat, supervised by, and comments.
• The Repeat Card is kept in the student's file to monitor the student's performance.

Violation of this policy will result in the implementation of the following disciplinary measures:

• First violation/semester: Written warning
• Second violation/semester: Suspension
• Third violation/semester: Possible termination
