Contacting offsite radiologists during off shifts
Our radiology group supports quite a few different facilities and during the off-shifts are off-site. Typically at a home workstation. Since various radiologists rotate through those shifts, the radiologist covering might change from day to day. In order for technologists and other physicians to know who to call, we currently use a website that someone on our staff updates daily with the phone number of the radiologists covering. We use a website since the radiologists use 2 different PACS systems, otherwise we would just use the messaging system within the PACS.
Since our current method involves someone manually updating a website, I’m looking for some ideas, other than a website, that some of you use. TIA

Im not sure how else you could update people easier than having on online schedule like QGenda. If its about communicating changes maybe email, texting apps, secure messaging.

We thought about using Qgenda, but our scheduler won’t always know where the rad might be sitting.
In playing around with one of the PACS, I was able to create a user that only has messaging set as a user role. No patient access at all. With that, we might be get by with using a generic username.
Of note, for each installation of the PACS we set a location and add the phone number in the description for that location. This is visible to any using the messaging app, so, we hope the physicians will only call and not use the IM feature.-
In sectra at least we have descriptions set on hosts so you can see a name, section, workstation.
