Recent Dose Standards
In January 2019, the Joint Commission (JCAHO) implemented a new and revised set of requirements designed to ensure dose safety.
The changes require equipment checks to ensure that fluoroscopy units work properly, physicians and staff are educated regarding radiation dose management and equipment operation, a radiation safety officer is designated at each facility, radiation dose information is acquired, radiation dose thresholds are established, and instances of excessive radiation dose are investigated.
NovaDose is taking a lead in ensuring these standards are met.
