Consultation on National Safety and Quality Medical Imaging Standards

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has developed National Safety and Quality Medical Imaging (NSQMI) Standards. Once finalised, these standards will replace the existing Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme (DIAS) Standards.

You are invited to review the draft NSQMI Standards for feedback on whether:

• There are safety and quality issues not addressed that should be
• There is duplication or actions in the standards that could be removed
• The requirements of the standards are clear and
• What are the costs and benefits of moving to risk based standards in medical imaging.

Please note, USANZ will make an official Society submission. Members are encouraged to make individual submissions, if they wish.

Visit the NSQMI website to complete a survey, make a submission or register to participate in a virtual forum. The consultation is open until Friday 27 September 2024.
