Brief Summary

This study aims to understand factors that may influence the implementation of a wrist-specific radiographic positioning device in healthcare settings across the United States and Canada. The survey will ask questions about workplace communication, leadership, availability of resources and attitude towards implementing new devices in radiographic imaging. Participants will be MRTs/Radiologic Technologists and they will complete an online questionnaire about current workplace practices and opinions regarding implementation of a new wrist positioning aid. Responses will help identify any potential barriers and facilitators regarding implementation across different healthcare environments.

Conditions

Wrist Osteoarthritis; Wrist Fracture; Wrist Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Implementation Outcomes

  Implementation determinants from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) will be graded on a questionnaire as being a barrier (0), neutral (1), or a facilitator (2).

  Participants can complete the survey at any time. The survey will close after 500 participants complete the survey. It is estimated this will take 1 year. The determinants will be measured at the completion of the survey.
