TypeofPatientsonUnit:NA : : General CommentsReplacement of traveler to ensure continuity of patient care whilst new staff are being trained in addition to reducing burnout of existing staff. SBAR: Justification for Interventional Radiology Traveler Technologists During New Staff TrainingS SituationThe Interventional Radiology (IR) department will be onboarding new technologists to fill critical staffing gaps. However, due to the specialized nature of IR procedures and the steep learning curve, full competency for new staff can take up to 12 months. In the interim, maintaining safe, efficient operations and full procedural coverage requires the continued use of experienced traveler technologists.B BackgroundIR is a high-acuity, procedure-driven department that relies on a skilled, knowledgeable team to ensure patient safety, clinical accuracy, and efficiency. Training new technologists involves extensive shadowing, equipment familiarization, procedural preparation, product and anatomy knowledge, and compliance with safety protocols. Historically, operating without adequate coverage during onboarding has led to procedure delays and increased staff burnout.

This strategy ensures consistent procedural support, maintains throughput, protects existing staff from overextension, and allows for high-quality, deliberate training ultimately leading to stronger retention and departmental stability.
