Welcome to RNN Café to informally discuss topics of interest for radiology. In this episode focus is on workflow interruptions and a possible solution: RadConnect. Special guests are Kenneth Hergaarden, PhD-Student at the Cardio Vascular Imaging Group (CVIG), Department of Radiology, Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands and Merlijn Sevenster, Royal Philips, The Netherlands. We discuss the effects of workflow interruptions on our work as radiologists, based on a recent publication by Shah et al. from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA entitled 'Workflow Interruptions and Effect on Study Interpretation Efficiency' (https://doi.org/10.1067/j.cpradiol.2022.06.003). Next a potential solution to the problem is discussed: 'RadConnect' a tool in development for asynchronous communication between radiology technicians and radiologists, later to be extended to other medical professionals as 'MedConnect'.
