  1. Chris Steelman MS, RT(R)(CI), RCIS Instructional Technology Systems Manager

  2. Founded in 2008 at Johns Hopkins U.S. 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization structure in 2009 Numerous partnered academic, governmental, NGO, and corporate institutions Grants from Johns Hopkins (Gatewood), Duke University, Google, Philips, Project HOPE, AperianGlobeSmart, and others Regular web traffic to rad-aid.orgfrom 110+ countries 225+ Volunteers and 700+ members RAD-AID Overview

  3. To increase access to quality, safe, clinically appropriate, and sustainable radiology services in resource limited parts of the world • RAD-AID fulfills this mission by… • Optimizing the role of the radiology community in global public health initiatives and clinical health care • Using a non-paternalistic, data-driven, cooperative, and ethical approach RAD-AID’s Mission

  4. The Radiology Divide Two-thirds of the world population lacks adequate access to medical imaging World Health Organization

  5. The Radiology Divide – Why does it exist? “Health care technologies are seen as peripheral to health care delivery and… receive little attention from health care planners.” “In…Sub-Saharan Africa… up to 70% of equipment lies idle due to mismanagement of the technology acquisition process, lack of user training, and lack of effective technical support.” WHO Guidelines for Health Equipment Donation (2000)

  6. RAD-AID optimizes the role of the radiology community in global public health initiatives and clinical health care by… • Refining, promoting, and executing RAD-AID’s structured, data-driven approach to assessing the strengths, weaknesses, and needs of radiology practices in the developing world • Developing awareness through marketing and outreach • Providing training in aspects of international health, the practice of radiology in developing nations, and program development • Providing a platform for coordinating radiology outreach and development projects Bridging the Radiology Divide

  7. The RAD-AID Approach

  8. “The most important prerequisite … is that the [facility] truly needs [radiology] and has theexpertise and means to operate and maintain it.” Radiology Readiness ™ WHO Guidelines for Health Equipment Donation (2000)

  9. Radiology ReadinessTM 16-part analytical framework for integrating radiologic, clinical, technical, economic, and emerging market issues to develop sustainable solutions for medical imaging in low-resource settings.

  10. Inadequate maintenance and quality control procedures Limited infrastructure (e.g. dust and temperature control, stable voltage) Inadequate safety measures (radiation, MRI) Women’s health deemphasized Minimal formal business training and resources (project planning, finance, accounting, management, etc.) Common Problem Areas • Training • Not standardized • Insufficient • Inaccurate

  11. CHINA • Successful 2011 pilot of Radiology Faculty Lecture Exchange • Expanding Radiology Lecture Exchange for the next 3 years with Chinese Society of Radiology • RAD-AID Team returning to China in December 2012 • Projects include (1) radiology technologist training for quality and safety, (2) radiologist educational lectures, and (3) standardizing training tracks for radiology professionals • Emphasis on boosting training in Western China where educational resources are in short supply and hospitals have large indigent populations

  12. HAITI • RAD-AID partnering with WHO/Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) • RAD-AID team returning in January 2012 • Efforts aimed at health capacity building through interdisciplinary training of nurses, techs, and radiologists • In partnership with CRUDEM Foundation and Hospital Sacre Coeur in North Haiti and Project HOPE Adventist Hospital in Diquini

  13. INDIA • Mobile women’s health in Chandigarh, India • Mammography, DEXA, Colposcopy, Education • Guaranteed long-term clinical follow-up (through partnership with a major Indian university hospital) • RAD-AID teams returning Jan and Feb of 2012 • Publications underway on mobile imaging and women's health • Project explorations now going on in Mumbai and Bangalore

  14. Integrated with traditional onsite training Hybrid approach to training • Preparatory training prior to onsite training • Supplemental training and assessment during onsite training • Continuing education and assessment after onsite training

  15. RAD-AID Learning Center Target audience • Medical Imaging professionals in developing nations • Initially technologists, sonographers, technicians Content provided free-of-charge Initial subject areas • Mammography • Radiography • Ultrasound

  16. eLearning Development Challenges How much time and money is spent to develop one finished hour of Level 1 eLearning? Research data collected: September 2010, by Chapman Alliance

  17. Rapid eLearning • eLearning has grown quickly since the 1990s - complexity of authoring processes can be intimidating • The solution is to develop effective, eLearning through a customized, all purpose templates • Just-in-time training • Compromise between the economic need for rapid learning and the pedagogical objective of a good instructional design

  18. Content Development • Identify Subject Matter Expert • RAD-AID PowerPoint Template • RAD-AID Author Guidelines • Course Description • Images/ Graphics / Video • Glossary • Transcript • Test Questions

  19. Template

  20. Production time : less than 20 hours

  21. Content Distribution • HTML / HTML5 • Flash • Microsoft Word / .PDF • Compact Disc • Podcast • Mobile Devices • Apple iOS(69.6% global tablet market)

  22. Learning Management System (LMS) • Focus is structured delivery of educational content • Provides an administrative infrastructure to regulate and monitor use of materials • Built-in tools to enhance learning • Online Learning Community • Discussion Groups • Support

  23. RAD-AID Learning Center • Developed in collaboration with and funded by Philips • A hosted LMS powered by the Philips Online Learning Center • Immediate audience of thousand of medical techs seeking CE

  24. TEXTBOOK “Radiology and Global Health: Implementation and Optimization of Medical Imaging in Developing Countries.” • A multidisciplinary resource for understanding the complex aspects of radiologic services in resource-limited environments

  25. Coordination and Training: RAD-AID Conference • 4 years running (2009-2012) • 150 will be attending this year (interdisciplinary) • NGOs, academic medical centers, radiologists, technologists, nurses, humanitarian aid workers, businesses, etc. • Panels • Economics • Technology • Clinical Practice • Education • Public Health • White paper report summarizing conference topics published in Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR)
