Job description

Are you looking to supplement your income? Are you certified in Breast Ultrasound?

Onsite Women's Health is on a mission to improve women's healthcare.

In partnership with forward-thinking providers across the country, Onsite Women's Health offers comprehensive mammography services with clinical expertise, innovative technology, and proprietary protocols that delivers personalized, convenient breast care for the patient.

Convenience drives compliance, and compliance saves lives

Convenience is critical to ensure that most women have time to remain compliant with their breast care. By offering mammography and breast care within the patient's primary care or OB/GYN practice and scheduling appointments in coordination with an annual exam, compliance is easier to accomplish.

The Opportunity

The OWH program is unparalleled, making breast cancer screening more convenient for women.

Do you want a fast-paced, high-energy, customer focused environment? You will be responsible for the independent operation of sonographic equipment, and for performing and communicating results of diagnostic breast examinations using sonography.

You will also be responsible for the daily operations of the sonographic laboratory, equipment maintenance, the report of equipment failures, and quality assessment (QA). A full job description will be available to qualified candidates.

• Review patient medical history and supporting clinical information.
• Ensure that the sonography examination order is complete, contains relevant information, and meets the standard of "medical necessity."
• Evaluate any contraindications, insufficient patient preparation, and the patient's inability or unwillingness to tolerate the examination and associated procedures.
• Communicate with the patient in a manner appropriate to the patient's ability to understand.
• Use proper patient positioning tools, devices, equipment adjustment, and ergonomically correct scanning techniques to ensure patient comfort and safety, and to prevent compromised data acquisition and musculoskeletal injury to the sonographer.
• Conduct patient clinical assessment and perform the diagnostic medical sonography examination ordered by the supervising physician in accordance with professional and facility protocols.
• Apply independent, professional, ethical judgment, and critical thinking to safely perform diagnostic sonography procedures.
• Apply independent judgment during the sonography examination to ensure that appropriate anatomical, pathological, and clinical conditions are accurately captured in the examination images.
• Except as authorized by written facility policies and procedures, refer specific diagnostic, treatment or prognosis questions to the appropriate physician or healthcare professional.
• As necessary, acquire additional ultrasound imaging to facilitate optimum diagnostic results for the interpreting physician.
• Identify and document any limitations to the sonography examination.
• Review examination images, synthesize examination results, and prepare the preliminary findings.
• Except as authorized by written facility policies and procedures, refer specific diagnostic, treatment or prognosis questions to the appropriate physician or healthcare professional.
• Maintain patient privacy and confidentiality in accordance with privacy laws (e.g., HIPAA) and facility policies, and procedures.
• Adhere to accepted professional and ethical standards.
• Provide patient services consistent with the Scope of Practice and Clinical Standards for the Diagnostic Sonographer.
• Provide preliminary report of sonography examinations for use by the interpreting physician.
• Assist with the daily operation of the sonography facility.
