In the March 2016 issue of “Perspectives”, The Joint Commission announced the addition of two new Human Resources (HR) elements of performance (EPs) for accredited hospitals, critical access hospitals, and ambulatory care organizations that provide diagnostic imaging services (including those ambulatory care organizations that have achieved Advanced Diagnostic Imaging certification).
The new HR requirements, scheduled to become effective September 1, 2016, were designed to address expectations for technologists who perform computed tomography (CT) exams.
