Your MRI accreditation team is a critical component of your facility’s successful MRI accreditation. Although your team will include some facility employees, your facility may benefit from hiring a third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator to provide guidance and support throughout the accreditation process.
An MRI accreditation consultant’s / coordinator’s main job is to help your facility smoothly navigate the MRI accreditation process. MRI accreditation consultants and coordinators use their expertise to help your facility save time and avoid costly mistakes. Other roles include:
Hiring a third-party MRI accreditation consultant or coordinator also can help your facility avoid surprises during the MRI accreditation process and increase the chances that your facility will pass on its first try.
Because your facility’s staff are busy performing day-to-day tasks related to patient care and administration, they may not have the time required to perform tasks related to MRI accreditation. And, they also may lack experience navigating the MRI accreditation process.
Although hiring a third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator is an additional expense, your facility likely will find that the value an MRI accreditation consultant or coordinator provides is well worth the cost. Here are four reasons why your facility should consider hiring a third-party MRI accreditation consultant:
The MRI accreditation process includes complex requirements, important steps, and strict deadlines, all of which can be overwhelming for an inexperienced MRI accreditation team. However, you can rest assured that your experienced third-party MRI accreditation consultant or coordinator has seen it all before and knows exactly what to do to help you overcome obstacles and achieve accreditation success.
Although it is possible to successfully navigate the MRI accreditation process with little or no experience, having an experienced, third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator in your corner will help to decrease your stress levels, remove the guesswork and ultimately improve your chances of obtaining accreditation the first time.
Incorrect, incomplete, or late submissions are a sure-fire way to delay or derail your MRI accreditation application and cost your facility time and money. A third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can help your team to avoid these headaches by decoding complex accreditation requirements and ensuring that the right materials and information are submitted to the accreditation organization at the right time.
With day-to-day operations consistently humming along, facility staff may find it difficult to allocate time to perform MRI accreditation-related tasks. And, if your staff does not have significant MRI accreditation experience, it may be difficult to perform required tasks efficiently.
A third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can help your facility save time up front by making sure you are ready to pursue your MRI accreditation. By conducting an accreditation readiness assessment and identifying barriers to accreditation, your MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can provide advice on appropriate corrective actions, help you establish required policies and procedures, and give your facility the opportunity to remedy any problems before applying for MRI accreditation.
When your facility is ready, an MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can help your facility complete its application, select case studies, and gather required documentation, all while adhering to important MRI accreditation deadlines and keeping your application on track.
Failing MRI accreditation is a frustrating experience, but a third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can help you to understand the reasons for the failure and determine your next steps. An MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator will work with your team to help you resubmit required materials or appeal the rejection while minimizing delay and inconvenience.
In addition to providing guidance and support during your facility’s MRI accreditation process, a third-party MRI accreditation consultant / coordinator can help to streamline the process and increase your facility’s chances of success.
