The technologically advanced VELA Mammography Chair, offered by
Enable Me, a VELA Medical company, provides an alternative to the
standing exam that reduces musculoskeletal injury to the
mammographer, adding to job satisfaction and workplace safety,
factors that can reduce expensive employee turnover.
"The glowing testimonials we have from mammographers who use the
VELA Mammography Chair all reference a reduction in upper body,
hand and wrist stress,” said, Mike Laky, president of Enable Me,
the national leader in VELA seated mammography technology. “One
even declared simply, ‘It’s great for our backs!’ and another said,
‘It’s helping the clinicians be more comfortable.’”
SIX ELEMENTS OF ROI
Laky suggested that the return on investment in the VELA
Mammography Chair can be calculated in at least six ways:
- Improved employee retention through job satisfaction and
workplace safety
- More efficient transfer of patients to exam room and back,
increasing daily appointment workflow efficiencies
- Enabling radiologists to work solo if needed with staffing
issues
- Electric height adjustment with handheld remote better
positions patient and also lessens stressors on the
mammographer
- With four-4-inch lockable wheels, the VELA Mammography chair is
a stable platform that can aid in clearer imaging and fewer
retakes
- Lessening slip and fall risk of injury to the patient and the
mammographer, the resulting litigation and reputational damage
TURNOVERS COSTLY
According to Human Resource Management in Radiology, replacing
staff such as a radiologic technologist can cost an organization as
much as 21% of that employee’s annual salary. The turnover rate
annually is 17.5%.
WARNINGS OF A TECHNOLOGIST SHORTAGE
The recent Siemens Healthineer research document reported that
in 2020, the number of graduates taking the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists exam was down nearly 8%.
“Unless the number of new mammography professionals entering
practice every year increases beyond the current levels, there will
be a growing gap between the supply of and demand for mammography
professionals over the next two decades,” warns The American
Journal of Roentgenology.
