“Originally, RadSite addressed this emerging trend by supplementing its Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Programs with a remote scanning policy, which was adopted by RadSite and approved by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2021,” explained Eliot Siegel, MD, RadSite Standards Committee Chair. “This webinar will provide an overview of RadSite’s new Remote Scanning Accreditation Program. RadSite has worked with many industry experts in remote scanning to carefully draft its new standards.”
The roundtable discussion will highlight RadSite’s new Remote Scanning Accreditation Program, which addresses the standards for professional staff responsibilities and qualifications and key operational, technical, legal, quality, and patient safety requirements. Panelists will also highlight initial findings from RadSite’s remote scanning survey, which was launched earlier this summer.
Moderator:
- Eliot Siegel, MD, RadSite Standards Committee Chair
Speakers:
- Garry Carneal, JD, MA RadSite President & CEO
- Mark Hiatt, MD, MBA, MS, RadSite Chief Medical Officer
“Over the past year, RadSite has been drafting new standards that will become a separate accreditation module called the Remote Scanning Accreditation Program Standards and Guide, version 1.0,” notes Dr. Hiatt. “These new standards establish more extensive professional, operational, and system requirements.” RadSite is on track to launch its new Remote Scanning Program during the fall of 2024.
In 2021, RadSite adopted a policy for remote scanning covering MRI and CT imaging. Currently, RadSite accredits imaging suppliers who self-attest that they comply with the policy. RadSite then periodically audits these remote scanning programs to ensure that they continue to meet policy requirements.
