The Joint Commission (TJC) has had new and revised Diagnostic Imaging Requirements as part of their accreditation standards in effect since 2015. This session, given by a physicist representative of TJC, will discuss the current state of this program as it relates to the practice of diagnostic medical physics. A review of the requirements and expectations will be presented as well as a discussion of the common areas of noncompliance. TJC has been working on a new initiative to establish standards for fluoroscopic imaging, and the latest information on this development will be shared.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the expectations of TJC diagnostic imaging surveyors
2. Identify and address the issues that most often result in surveyor findings
3. Review the upcoming TJC Fluoroscopic Imaging requirements
