“Radiation safety extends well beyond the procedure room,” says Dana Gilbert, Manager, Cardiac Cath/EP Lab at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System in Spartanburg, South Carolina. As health systems continue to prioritize occupational wellness, regulatory readiness, and operational efficiency, there is growing recognition that successful radiation protection programs require more than protective equipment alone—they require a comprehensive strategy.

By bringing these components together, institutions can strengthen consistency, improve accountability, and simplify day-to-day program management.
