Provide Fluoroscopy Services? You Need to Know About This Training Course!

According to The Joint Commission as of January 1, 2019, five (5) new Joint Commission elements of performance (EPs) focused on fluoroscopy will become effective. The new and revised fluoroscopy requirements were developed based on risks identified by diagnostic imaging experts and accredited ambulatory care and hospital customers. 

The new requirements are applicable to accredited to:

  • Ambulatory care (AHC) organizations
  • Office-based surgery (OBS) practices
  • Hospital organizations that provide fluoroscopy services to their patients. 

This five part PowerPoint video presentation was developed and is narrated by Dr. Ben Archer and Dr. Louis Wagner who are internationally recognized medical physicists who have made countless contributions to the medical imaging community.  Both Dr. Archer and Dr. Wagner have served as the RSO’s for large medical facilities and will assist you and your staff with these requirements and assist in your efforts to provide safe, effective patient care.  

Physicians and other healthcare providers completing all five parts of the course will receive a certificate of completion for 8 hours Category 1™ AMA PRA credit.
