Radiology departments play a critical role in patient care but also present unique workplace hazards requiring special attention. From radiation exposure to ergonomic risks and chemical handling, radiology professionals face multiple safety challenges every day. That’s why OSHA compliance and proactive safety measures are essential – not only to meet regulatory requirements but to foster a culture of safety that protects employees. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to protect workers from exposure to ionizing radiation sources that are not regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or other federal agencies. States also regulate occupational exposure to ionizing radiation, and State Plans may have more stringent requirements when compared to federal requirements. Shanon Moore

Human resources (HR) departments play a vital role in organizations. From hiring qualified professionals and delivering quality training materials to contributing to a positive company culture, HR navigates and helps organizations overcome many issues.

With ever-evolving regulatory changes, staff shortages, and new emerging technologies, HR roles stretch across departments and have large-scale impacts.

In order to support healthcare facilities, recognizing best practices and implementing strategies for boosting efficiency and reducing costs is crucial.

When inflation rises quickly like it occurred in 2023 and 2024 it is hard to keep up and adjust quickly enough to offset the impact.
