Support at the right moment
Radiology technologists are hard to find. One hospital in Germany solved its staffing shortages with the help of leasing temporary personnel.
In response to the pressures of finding sufficient radiology technologists, Garmisch-Partenkirchen Hospital, Germany, engaged a technologist from Siemens Healthineers in early March 2020. Gerhard Simon, MD, a radiologist and nuclear medicine physician, believes that this was absolutely the right decision, especially given the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he says that the long-term solution has to be about encouraging more young people to become technologists.
