Remote scanning is becoming a critical part of imaging operations as staffing shortages, geographic access barriers, and after-hours coverage needs prompt an increasing number of imaging suppliers to adopt remote scanning programs.
RadSite offers the first nationally recognized, CMS-approved Remote Scanning Accreditation Program, with comprehensive standards addressing administrative, staffing, operational, and quality requirements.
To support organizations through this transition, RadSite senior leaders will present a session at the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) 2026 Annual Meeting on how to develop and implement a compliant remote scanning program.
