Mammography facilities have raised concerns about the American College of Radiology’s (ACR) accreditation questionnaire, particularly how they should answer a series of questions that ask for information not required by MQSA, according to Susanne Myers BA, RT(R)(M), senior vice president of Mammologix, in Apopka, FL.
For example, the ACR full application asks facilities what percentage of their practice involves screening mammography and whether they have a system in place to prevent sentinel events, she says.
In some of these cases, MQSA does not require such information, which may be difficult to obtain if a facility has not collected it all along.
