Dr. Geoff West will be presenting at the 2016 Annual AHRA conference in Nashville, TN on the topic of Joint Commission standards in Radiology. The title of the live presentation is “One Year after the JC Imaging Standards Changes – What Have We Learned and What’s Coming Next?” Dr. West will be presenting on Monday, August 1st between 4:00 – 5:00 PM and Wednesday, August 3rd between 8:30 – 9:30 AM.
Dr. West will discuss and share how the first year of the new JC 2015 Imaging Standards have impacted accredited healthcare organizations, including feedback on actual Joint Commission surveys. Dr. West will describe the positive impact the standards have had on patient care and radiation dose reduction, as well as any challenges in implementation experienced to date by the Joint Commission and the accredited facilities. In addition, the attendees will learn what new proposed standards changes the JC has planned for the future for imaging facilities, and what impact those changes could have on patient care and the imaging business.
West Physics will be in the exhibit hall located at booth number 616. Please stop by and speak personally with Dr. West and staff regarding the Joint Commission standards and our CT Dose Navigator Optimization Program for CT and Fluoroscopy.
