Chapter 06: Radiology Administration
Adler: Introduction to Radiologic and Imaging Sciences and Patient Care, 7th Edition


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The health care industry is a significant part of the U.S. economy. Hospitals, clinics, imaging
centers, rehabilitation centers, and other institutions all make up a sizeable network of this
country’s health care delivery system. The complexities of a hospital and all of its
departments, professions, infrastructure, and design can be likened to
a. communities within a community.
b. isolated enterprises that operate with complete independence.
c. simple businesses with a single product or service to offer its customers.
d. a family-run business with only a few employees.
ANS: A
Hospitals have a direct relationship with the community in which they are located, comparable
to the relationship a city has with the county or state where it is located. This relationship
should be mutually supportive and beneficial. Single hospitals have merged into multihospital
groups, or systems, similar to the way nearby cities merge activities first and later combine
governance. The medical staff and employees of a hospital show a parallel with the city’s
skilled and trained persons who provide services to other citizens. The complexity of a
hospital can be compared to that of a town or city in which people work together in mutually
supportive functions.

REF: p. 49

2. A document that guides a hospital as to its purpose and role in the community it serves is
called a
a. proclamation.
b. set of bylaws.
c. mission statement.
d. master plan.
ANS: C
An organization’s mission statement is the defining and guiding force that outlines the reason
for existence. “The mission statement summarizes the hospital’s intent to provide service in
terms of the intended recipients of service, the type of care or services, and the level of quality
and cost expected. Because every function of a hospital should be focused on what the
organization wants to accomplish, all of its members should be familiar with the mission.”

REF: p. 49

3. A typical organizational structure of a hospital will have the hospital’s chief executive officer
(CEO) or president reporting to the
a.chief financial officer (CFO).
b. board of directors.
c.city council.
d. medical staff chief.
ANS: B

, Governance of a hospital begins with the board of directors or governing board, which is
authorized by law to operate a hospital. The board employs a chief executive officer (CEO) or
president, and defines how the operation of the hospital is maintained and conducted.

REF: p. 49

4. A formal document that outlines the departmental structure of a hospital by showing lines of
authority, reporting structures, and the interrelationships of departments is a(n)
a. organizational chart.
b. PACS network diagram.
c. flowchart.
d. decision matrix.
ANS: A
The organizational chart of a hospital demonstrates how managers and employees carry out
the functions within the institution in an organized and logical manner. In its basic definition,
it demonstrates who reports to whom in the organization.

REF: p. 49

5. All of the physicians practicing medicine within a hospital comprise the hospital’s
a. board of trustees.
b. continuous quality-improvement (CQI) group.
c. regulatory council.
d. medical staff.
ANS: D
The medical staff is the formal organized structure of physicians within a hospital with
authorized privileges, bylaws, elected officers, committees, and organized activities.

REF: p. 50

6. In large hospitals the person responsible for the operations of radiologic services is typically
the administrative director of radiology. This individual must have strong managerial and
other skills, including
1. leadership skills.
2. finance and budgeting skills.
3. medical image interpretation skills.
4. strategic planning skills.
5. nursing skills, including pharmacology.
6. customer service skills.
7. communications and public relations skills.
a. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 only
b. 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 only
c. 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 only
d. 3, 5, and 6 only
