Initial Fluoroscopy Training for TJC

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.

FluoroSafety offers multiple initial training options that are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Joint Commission.  Our top quality educational activities follow the recommendations of NCRP Report No. 168, are designed to meet the accreditation standards of The Joint Commission.

Acapedia offers the following courses that may meet your needs for complying with Joint Commission fluoroscopy competency requirements.

1. Basic Training Program on the Safe Use of Fluoroscopy (4 CME)
2. Advanced Training Program on the Safe Use of Fluoroscopy (8 CME)

We recommend that advanced users (i.e., interventional cardiology, radiology, vascular surgery, etc) take the Advanced Training Program.
