The recent Conquest Imaging-sponsored webinar “Ultrasound Accreditation and Regulatory Compliance from A to Z” impressed biomeds and HTM professionals who logged in for the TechNation Webinar Wednesday presentation.
More than 200 people participated in the live webinar presented by Conquest Imaging Training Director Jim Rickner. He has worked for Conquest Imaging for more than 10 years and was the senior field service engineer prior to becoming the training director. He has attended all courses offered at Conquest Imaging for GE, Philips, Siemens and ATL.
During the presentation, Rickner demonstrated the various complex requirements and testing protocols for all the accreditation and regulatory organizations overseeing the ultrasound industry – including the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), American College of Radiology (ACR), Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) as well as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Fire Protection Association 99 (NFPA 99).
The webinar described the requirements of testing protocols used by various accreditation and regulatory organizations overseeing the ultrasound industry and explained how one can apply the protocols in their facilities/departments. It included a discussion regarding the difficulties encountered at facilities trying to meet the various requirements. The webinar also included a Q&A session in which Rickner fielded questions from attendees to which he provided thoughtful and insightful answers.
The webinar, which is available online at 1TechNation.com/webinars and on YouTube, received high marks from attendees in a post-webinar survey. They also complimented the Webinar Wednesday series.
“The webinars TechNation is providing are an invaluable service benefiting the hospitals, patients and technicians – all biomeds should take advantage of this opportunity,” wrote Robert C.
“I kept ignoring the emails and webinar invitations from TechNation, until I finally attended one and found out what I’ve been missing. These webinars provide so much very helpful information. Now, when I see an email from TechNation, it gets my devoted attention. Thanks for all you do to enhance our knowledge and understanding,” Bob W. wrote.
