QC-Track meets the needs for an enterprise imaging QC platform in today's distributed imaging networks. And QC-Track has the technical capabilities and features required by Information Systems groups in even the largest U.S. healthcare systems.

Imaging QC Team leaders have long hoped for a standardized QC system.

The reasons are obvious. If all of your sites follow a common QC workflow, it's easier for the QC Team to monitor QC status across sites. The QC technologists at a site appreciate having a standardized QC workflow they can follow, especially if they float from site to site, or if they do QC for more than one modality. And in some places, inspectors review QC for more than one modality and appreciate seeing QC status in a consistent way. This is certainly the case in California, where California Department of Public Health inspectors inspect both mammography/MQSA and fluoroscopy QC records.

Back when the only QC tracking option was paper-and-binders, the Imaging QC leaders might have formed a committee or engaged their consulting physicists to define the standard QC workflow. Regardless, they'd have gotten a nice written report and maybe a set of new tracking forms for the QC binders.

So the QC Team would have a standard QC workflow. But a report and set of paper tracking forms fails to help other important aspects of the QC process, like ongoing monitoring and sign off.

Today things are different. QC-Track helps you define your standard QC workflow, implements QC workflows across your modalities and locations, and gives you the tools to centrally monitor QC workflows.

One other big difference, though, is that a paperless QC system relies on computers and networks, and there's a good chance your Information Systems area will need to be involved, especially as you implement across modalities and locations.
