Where this comes from

Abstract

To sustain compliance with accreditation requirements of the ACR, Joint Commission, and state-specific statutes and regulatory requirements, a CT protocol review committee requires a structure for systematic analysis of protocols. Safe and reproducible practice of CT in a complex environment requires that physician supervision processes and protocols be precisely and clearly presented. This article discusses necessary components for data structure, and a description of an IT-based approach for protocol review based on experiences at 2 academic centers, 3 community hospitals, 1 cancer center, and 2 outpatient clinics.
