RadSite™, a leading accrediting organization promoting performance and quality-based imaging practices, announced today that its Remote Scanning Accreditation Program is open to applicants who are accredited by any of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Servies (CMS) approved Accreditation Organizations (AOs).
As a prerequisite to apply for RadSite’s Remote Scanning Accreditation Program, the imaging facility or hospital needs to have active accreditation for the MRI or CT imaging systems that are a part of their program. This accreditation must be from one of the CMS approved AOs: RadSite, the American College of Radiology (ACR), Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) or the Joint Commission. Applicants applying for both RadSite MRI or CT accreditation and remote scanning accreditation will receive a discounted accreditation fee.
RadSite officially launched the new Remote Scanning Accreditation Program in July 2025. The new Remote Scanning Standards provide a detailed framework to support and evaluate programs for both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Mark Casner, RadSite’s Chief Accreditation Officer, notes that “CMS has recognized RadSite, ACR, IAC and Joint Commission as part of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA). RadSite’s new Remote Scanning Accreditation Program is layered and assumes that the inpatient or outpatient imaging system is in conformance with accreditation requirements for advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) systems. This is an important quality check to ensure both the MRI and CT imaging systems, and the remote scanning program, sync up to promote patient safety and the clinical efficacy of the scans. RadSite also requires that all applicable federal and state laws be followed.”
Laura Kassa, President of RadXcel and member of the RadSite Standards Committee, states that “RadSite’s new Standards provide a playbook on the critical elements of how to build and maintain an effective program by addressing the professional, operational, technical, and quality improvement requirements to run a safe and effective remote scanning program. Recognizing the other AOs makes perfect sense to promote standardization in the field.”
