Applying the Universal Protocol to Radiology 

Multiple failed organizational and departmental processes may lead to wrong-patient, wrong-procedure, wrong-side, and wrong-site errors in radiology services. Implementing and enforcing policies that address patient identification and procedure verification processes to prevent errors, as well as ensuring that staff are continually trained, provides radiology services with opportunities for improvements that not only can be observed by providers but can be expected by patients.
