Annapolis, MD / June 26, 2024 – RadSite™, a leading accrediting agency promoting performance and quality-based imaging practices, has released an online survey to assess remote scanning industry trends. The survey targets imaging staff that directly or indirectly support remote scanning programs. The survey assesses the scope of remote scanning, professional staff training, certification requirements, operational parameters, and technical specifications.
Staff associated with a remote scanning program can fill out the survey here.
“During the pandemic and staffing shortages, RadSite noticed that many national imaging suppliers were moving to remote scanning platforms to fulfill their mission of offering access to patients,” notes Eliot Siegel, MD, RadSite Standards Committee Chair. “In 2021, RadSite adopted a remote scanning policy that RadSite accredited companies need to attest to. Over the past year, RadSite has been drafting standards to upgrade its remote scanning policy to a formal accreditation program. The survey results will help us better understand remote scanning trends as RadSite calibrates the new standards.”
“Understanding remote scanning trends is important as RadSite identifies best practices to incorporate into its new accreditation review process,” adds Garry Carneal, RadSite President & CEO. “The published survey results should generate important public policy discussion about what is going on in the field. RadSite is looking forward to analyzing and reporting on remote scanning trends.”
RadSite is now one of the largest accreditation agencies covering advanced diagnostic imaging. RadSite’s ADI Accreditation Programs cover six key areas:
- Computed Tomography
