Indirect Supervision. An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure or task is being performed. The purpose of the patient/procedure identification policy is for the student to understand the importance of checking and verifying the following information before performing all standard protocol radiology procedures as well as following through during and after the procedure has been completed: ▪ Correct patient ▪ Correct procedure ▪ Correct side ▪ Correct reason ▪ Correct anatomic marker ▪ Student – Competency not completed on procedure – Direct Supervision: An RT is present in the x-ray room during student performance of a procedure. The RT will assess patient condition in relation to student knowledge and assist as needed throughout the exam. ▪ Student – Competency complete on procedure – Indirect Supervision: An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure is being performed. The following process is performed for direct/indirect supervision: ▪ The RT and student will review the control sheet and student’s competency evaluation report prior to performing an exam. ▪ During the control sheet review, the student will verbally explain to the RT what exam will be performed as well as specific projections to be done during exam. ▪ The RT will review the student’s competency evaluation report to decide whether direct or indirect supervision is needed. The student will use the following process for the identification of Diagnostic Imaging (DI) patients and verification of the exam to be performed: ▪ The student will verify the patient’s identity and exam using the TPERS+ ID process listed below. Once verified, the student will complete the BEGIN PROCEDURE step in LifeChart and then perform exam. TPESR+ ID process is a 10-step process, allowing for a TIME OUT prior to imaging. The student will confirm this by placing a check mark next to each element on the RIS order.

Indirect Supervision. An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure or task is being performed. The purpose of CLINICAL COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS During each clinical education course, the patient/procedure identification policy is syllabus will list the competency requirements that are to be completed for the student that semester. Students must complete competencies to understand the importance of checking and verifying the following information before performing all standard protocol radiology procedures as well as following through during and after ensure they have mastered the procedure has been completed: ▪ Correct patient ▪ Correct procedure ▪ Correct side ▪ Correct reason ▪ Correct anatomic marker ▪ or technique. All competencies will be completed on Trajecsys ® PROCEDURE - Student – Competency not completed on procedure – Direct Supervision: An RT is present in the x-ray room during student performance of a procedure. The RT will assess patient condition in relation to student knowledge and assist as needed throughout the exam. ▪ - Student – Competency complete completed on procedure – Indirect Supervision: An RT is immediately available to assist students regardless of the level of student achievement. Immediately available is interpreted as the physical presence of an RT adjacent to the x-ray room or location where the procedure is being performed. LEAD MARKERS Identifying anatomical lead markers (right and left) are to be used on all images taken by the student. When a student is gaining competency on an evaluation only their own student issued markers will be permissible. The following process student is performed responsible for direct/indirect supervision: ▪ all images bearing their markers. Personal markers may not be loaned to other students or staff technologists. The RT student is responsible for replacing lost anatomic markers. Replacement markers must be purchased immediately upon loss of marker(s). Payment in the form of cash will be made to the school. See program director for cost of markers.
