Takahashi Central Hospital, Japan

Reducing ramp-up times for SOMATOM go.Top with efficient online training and digital technologies

“The user interface has changed so much that it was useful to be able to actually simulate it with online pre-training. With online pre-training achieved, the examinations on the first day was smooth despite the change in the user interface.”

^{Shinji Kawakami, Technologist}

Santa Maria della Misericordia, Udine, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy

Improving the efficiency of training: much faster, much easier

“The Virtual Training provided us operational effectiveness during the COVID-19 outbreak. All the team was able to attend and join remotely. Thanks to the SmartSimulator we could learn the user interface, the acquisition parameters and simulate the operativity of the scanner CT SOMATOM go.Top without any pressure. Despite the lack of previous knowledge about Siemens Healthineers technologies, we’ve been able to scan routine examination before onsite training could commence. Thanks to the blended learning the training was faster and easier”

^{Erica Trevisan, Radiographer}

Palace Hospital, Mandalay

Enable efficient operations from day one using digital technologies

“This training met our expectations; we could reach the prescribed goals timely according to prepared schedule. Problems beyond the scope of the training could be discussed and solved remotely.

Virtual training seemed to be real, except for the practice with real patients. With the support received from the training team we could confidently learn the new scanners functionalities and apply this knowledge in a virtual work environment using the Smart Remote Services. Even though full virtual training is not as perfect as the on-site training, this training was very helpful and effective in this pandemic situation”

^{Mya Mya Chaw Su, Chief Imaging Technologist}

Charles LeMoyne Hospital, Longueuil, Quebec, Canada

Enable accessible and highly efficient remote training with digital technologies

“The remote features provided by Siemens Healthineers are integral during this time to ensure staff safety, and in the case of Virtual Cockpit Light to enable DI staff based outside the ER to easily assist and troubleshoot with technicians operating the CT in the ER”

^{Julie Audet, Assistant DI Manager}

Hospital Lauro Reus - Campo Bom, RS - Brazil

Transforming Care Delivery
Delivering customer success with value based remote trainings

“I was very worried when I was informed that the equipment training would be remote, but after all I was surprised. The training was great, and everyone learned well. Our trainer knew how to teach, and he was very polite and punctual! Even with a distance it was an excellent experience. Congratulations!”

^{Raquel Cristina Selister – Radiology Manager}

Yeungnam University Medical Centre (YUMC), Daegu, Korea

Overcome operational difficulties with Remote Handover Training using online solutions

“Although it was not easy for the Application Specialist to reach us as a result of the travel restrictions, I had hoped that we would be able to operate the CT scanner as soon as possible because of our experience with the SOMATOM Definition AS+. However it was not easy to create and optimize scan protocols on the newly installed dual source system, SOMATOM Force. By using Smart Simulator and SRS, protocols were created in advance and imported to the scanner, enhancing operations from day 1 already. Real-time monitoring and support for trouble shooting queries was easy when connected via SRS. When using these online solutions, I felt Apps was sitting aside of me"
