‘It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently’ – Warren Buffet
Consider the risks of appointing a QA agency based on cheap pricing – What can go wrong?
Example – incorrect reporting of radiation leakage or poor image quality – affecting your reputation.
Example – Damage to the X-Ray tube due to selection of parameters and pace of giving exposures. Machine performance will be blamed instead!
Example – Loss of QA report and not having a backup? – Need for redoing the QA
Example – As the number of exposures will increase, it will mean that more exposures will be required affecting tube life.
Example – Incorrect reporting of one of the parameters making the result of the test as ‘fail’ – even though the machine was passing the test.
A rejection record of the machine in eLORA account! For a reputed hospital, these service charges add minimal costs to your operations. Thus, we hope that your decision of choice of QA agency is based on the quality of service and not merely on pricing.
As someone has aptly said – ‘The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten’
