Annual Fluoroscopy Training

The Joint Commission requires healthcare organizations to assess staff and physician competency to provide fluoroscopy services, as outlined in the “Human Resources” and “Medical Staff” chapters of the 2019 Joint Commission Comprehensive Accreditation Manual. A healthcare organization should verify and document that individuals (including physicians, non-physicians, and ancillary personnel) who use fluoroscopic equipment have completed appropriate initial training and participate in ongoing assessment of competency regarding safe procedures for the operation of the type of fluoroscopy equipment they will use.

The course Annual Training for Individuals Who Use Fluoroscopic Equipment is approved for up to 2.0 hours of Category 1 CME, and is designed to meet Joint Commission requirements for ongoing assessment of competency regarding safe procedures for the operation of fluoroscopic equipment.
