Joint Commission Accredited
The Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization, is the predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. The mission of the Joint Commission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations.
Imaging On Call has undergone an unannounced, thorough on-site review and by demonstrating compliance with the Joint Commission's national standards for health care quality and safety, Imaging On Call has earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of ApprovalTM.
The Joint Commission has adopted credentialing standards that allow hospitals to accept credentialing information from other Joint Commission approved facilities, such as Imaging On Call.
IOC Credentialing Options
- The first and easiest option is for hospitals to enter into an agreement with Imaging On Call, to accept our credentialing information. Because IOC is Joint Commission accredited organization and has already credentialed its physicians, there is a significant price savings and a significant time savings associated with this option.
- A second option is for hospitals to use the credentialing information provided by Imaging On Call. In this case, a hospital may choose to verify the information and maintain physician records. With this option, the Imaging On Call data could be used to supplement the slow-to-return verifications to the hospital's credentialing department. Many hospitals will provide temporary hospital privileges while this process is underway.
- A third option is for hospitals to continue to do their own credentialing and make no changes to the current process. This option is both time consuming and labor intensive.
