Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the current employment practices and future preferences of Nebraska hospitals regarding multicredentialed technologists. A survey was mailed to 104 hospital radi- ology departments in the state of Nebraska, asking for voluntary and confidential responses by radiology managers charged with hiring of radiologic technologists with a response rate of 51%. Nearly all respondents (93%) said it was very likely or fairly likely that they would hire a multicredentialed technologist in the future. Results suggest that there is a trend among Nebraska hospital radiology managers toward needing or hiring multicredentialed radiologic technologists in the future. There appears to be a greater emphasis in the pairing of credentialing in diagnostic radiography with computed tomography, ultra- sound, and mammography in current and future needs.
