Beth Israel Lahey Beverly MRI: Creating a Body Index Chart For Schedulers
No full textThis project involved the scheduling of patients at Beth Israel Lahey Beverly’s MRI Department. Working with the scheduling team to book appointments and check in patients, it became clear that there were recurring schedule gaps caused by patients being assigned to machines that didn’t suit their body size—not just weight, but also height and limb length. This often led to last-minute cancellations. To address this, a Body Index Chart was created to help schedulers match patients to the correct MRI machine based on body proportions. After the chart was created and approved it was presented to schedulers with instructions on how and when to use it while booking future MRI appointments. Schedulers began to use the chart the next day. The results indicated a positive impact. Staff have reported fewer cancellations, indicating a positive impact on the efficiency of the new chart system on scheduling and compliance with appointments.Healthcare Studie
Using Shaping Techniques to Help a Student Tolerate Medical Devices
No full textThis project focuses on helping a student at the Recreational Education Center (REC) tolerate a blood pressure cuff using a structured shaping procedure. Many students experience discomfort or anxiety during medical procedures due to sensory sensitivities or behavioral challenges. Using positive reinforcement and gradual exposure, the student was taught to tolerate a blood pressure cuff over several weeks. Each week, the cuff was moved higher on the arm—from hand to wrist, forearm, and eventually the upper arm—while reducing interfering behaviors such as non-compliance and fidgeting. Results showed increased tolerance and cooperation. This project demonstrates how shaping techniques and reinforcement strategies can be applied in clinical and educational settings to support medical readiness and promote behavioral growth.Healthcare Studie
Racism in Healthcare: A literature review
