1 Practice area 159 Clinical PRIVILEGE WHITE PAPER Diagnostic radiology Background According to the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), a radiologist is a physician who uses imaging methodologies to diagnose and manage patients and provide therapeutic options. A diagnostic radiologist uses x-rays, ionizing radiation, radionuclides, ultrasound, electromagnetic radiation, and image-guided intervention to diagnose and treat disease. According to the ABMS and the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), training to become a diagnostic radiologist takes a total of five years. That includes one year of clinical work followed by four years of radiology training. According to the ABMS, there are five subspecialties of diagnostic radiology in which physicians can also become certified. However, any physician who wishes to specialize in any of these five areas must first become certified in diagnostic radiology. The five areas are: Neuroradiology Nuclear radiology Pediatric radiology Vascular and interventional radiology Hospice and palliative medicine The ACGME, however, divides diagnostic radiology into nine subspecialty areas for the purposes of training and education. They are: Neuroradiology Musculoskeletal radiology Vascular and interventional radiology Cardiothoracic radiology Breast radiology Abdominal radiology Pediatric radiology Ultrasonography (including obstetrical and vascular ultrasound) Nuclear radiology (including PET and nuclear cardiology) Core privileges in diagnostic radiology include the ability to perform general diagnostic radiology (x-ray, radionuclides, ultrasound, and electromagnetic radiation) to diagnose Please replace Clinical Privilege White Paper, Diagnostic radiology Practice area 159, with this updated version.

2 and treat diseases of patients of all ages. Radiologists are responsible for communicating critical values and critical findings consistent with medical staff policy. Core privileges include but are not limited to: Bone densitometry CT of the head, neck, spine, body, and chest, including the heart, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities as well as their associated vasculatures Diagnostic nuclear radiology of the head, neck, spine, body, and chest, including the heart, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities as well as their associated vasculatures MRI of the head, neck, spine, body, and chest, including the heart, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities as well as their associated vasculatures Positron emission tomography (PET) Mammography (in accordance with MQSR-required qualifications) Routine imaging (e.g., interpretation of plain films, intravenous or retrograde pyelography, fluoroscopy, chest/abdomen, pelvis/gastrointestinal, and genitourinary diagnostic and therapeutic procedures) Image-guided biopsy, cyst aspiration, and procedures (e.g., lumbar puncture) Ultrasound Involved specialties Radiologists Positions of societies and academies ACR In its position statement, ACR Policy on Medical Staff Privileges, Exclusive Contracts, and Economic Credentialing, the American College of Radiology (ACR) states that radiologists with hospital medical staff appointments and clinical privileges should have the same rights as any other members of the hospital s medical staff. Further, those privileges comprise the right of medical staff members to provide specific patient care services in a manner consistent with licensure, education, and expertise. These rights also include the right of access to hospital resources, including equipment, facilities, and personnel necessary to exercise privileges effectively. The ACR states that hospital governing boards should abridge a physician s privileges only upon recommendation of the medical staff for reasons related to professional competence, adherence to appropriate standards 2 A supplement to Briefings on Credentialing 781/ /10
3 of medical care, health status, or other parameters agreed on by the medical staff. The ACR also addresses the issue of economic credentialing. To protect the integrity of the credentialing and peer review process and to ensure high-quality patient care, the ACR asserts that decisions to grant or terminate clinical privileges should not be based on economic considerations that do not legitimately relate to a physician s professional competence. When economic criteria such as the perceived profitability of, or the types of patients in, a physician s practice take the place of a valid basis for granting privileges (e.g., the licensure, education, and expertise of an individual physician), patient welfare and physicians rights are compromised. The ACR states that economic credentialing includes not only the award of clinical privileges on the basis of financial considerations but also practices by which hospitals attempt to share in the revenues derived by radiologists in providing professional services to patients. Examples of economic credentialing include requiring radiologists to contribute a portion of their professional fees to the hospital in exchange for the right to provide radiology services, or requiring that radiologists purchase billing or other services from the hospital at prices that exceed the fair market value of those services. Any arrangement that would base clinical privileges primarily on factors other than quality can be construed as a form of economic credentialing. Positions of other interested parties ABR The American Board of Radiology (ABR) grants certification in diagnostic radiology to physicians who meet the ABR s qualifications. To become certified in diagnostic radiology by the ABR, candidates must have met the following requirements: One year in clinical training: The first postgraduate year must be accredited clinical training in internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery or surgical specialties, OB/GYN, neurology, family practice, emergency medicine, transitional year, or any combination of these. No more than a total of three months may be spent in radiology, radiation oncology, and/or pathology. All clinical training must be in an ACGME-, American Osteopathic Association (AOA), or Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) approved program (or equivalent). A supplement to Briefings on Credentialing 781/ /10 3
4 Four years in an approved diagnostic radiology program that includes: A minimum of four months out of the four-year program spent in nuclear medicine. Three months in mammography. No more than 12 months in any one discipline (including research). After July 1, 2010, up to 16 months in any one discipline will be accepted. Successful completion of written and oral components of the exam. Proof of a valid license in the state or territory where the physician practices. Basic cardiac life support certification. The ABR also grants certificates of added qualifications in the following subspecialties of diagnostic radiology: Hospice and palliative medicine Neuroradiology Nuclear radiology Pediatric radiology Vascular and interventional radiology AOA/AOBR The American Osteopathic Board of Radiology (AOBR) is authorized by the AOA to grant certification in diagnostic radiology to physicians who qualify. To become certified, applicants must: Be a graduate of an AOA-accredited college of osteopathic medicine Be licensed to practice in the state where practice is conducted Be able to show evidence of conformity to the standards set forth in the Code of Ethics of the AOA Be a member in good standing of the AOA or the Canadian Osteopathic Association for the two years immediately prior to the date of certification Have satisfactorily completed a one-year AOA-approved internship Have successfully completed four or more years of AOAapproved training in diagnostic radiology (for applicants beginning their residency training on July 1, 1989) or three or more years of AOA-approved training in radiology or diagnostic radiology (for applicants beginning their residency training prior to July 1, 1989) Complete the requirements of training and experience 4 A supplement to Briefings on Credentialing 781/ /10
5 as stated in the Basic Standards for Residency Training in Diagnostic Radiology, which includes 700 hours of nuclear medicine training Pass all examination components of the certification process ACGME According to the ACGME s Program Requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Diagnostic Radiology, effective July 1, 2010, residency programs in diagnostic radiology should last four years, during which the maximum period of training in any one of the nine subspecialty areas of diagnostic radiology shall be 16 months. Those subspecialties are: Neuroradiology Musculoskeletal radiology Vascular and interventional radiology Cardiothoracic radiology Breast radiology Abdominal radiology Pediatric radiology Ultrasonography (including obstetrical and vascular ultrasound) Nuclear radiology (including PET and nuclear cardiology) In addition to the four years in diagnostic radiology, physicians must have completed one year of basic clinical training accredited by the ACGME, the RCPSC, or an equivalent organization. Training can be in internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery or surgical specialties, OB/GYN, neurology, family medicine, emergency medicine, or any combination of these. The clinical year may also comprise a transitional year accredited by the ACGME or equivalent organization. At the completion of a four-year program in diagnostic radiology, residents must have accomplished the following in regard to patient care skills: Be able to provide patient care through safe, efficient, appropriately utilized, quality-controlled diagnostic and/or interventional radiology techniques. Communicate effectively and in a timely manner the results of procedures, studies, and examinations to the referring physician and/or other appropriate individuals.

7 Fundamentals of molecular imaging Biologic and pharmacologic actions of materials administered in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures Use of needles, catheters, and other devices employed in invasive image-based diagnostic and therapeutic procedures Socioeconomics of radiologic practice Professionalism and ethics The Joint Commission The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) has no formal position concerning the delineation of privileges for diagnostic radiology. However, in its Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, The Joint Commission states, The hospital collects information regarding each practitioner s current license status, training, experience, competence, and ability to perform the requested privilege (MS ). In the rationale for MS , The Joint Commission states that there must be a reliable and consistent system in place to process applications and verify credentials. The organized medical staff must then review and evaluate the data collected. The resultant privilege recommendations to the governing body are based on the assessment of the data. The Joint Commission further states, The organized medical staff reviews and analyzes information regarding each requesting practitioner s current licensure status, training, experience, current competence, and ability to perform the requested privilege (MS ). In the EPs for standard MS , The Joint Commission says the information review and analysis process is clearly defined. The organization, based on recommendations by the organized medical staff and approval by the governing body, develops criteria that will be considered in the decision to grant, limit, or deny a request for privileges. The Joint Commission further states, Ongoing professional practice evaluation information is factored into the decision to maintain existing privilege(s), to revise existing privileges, or to revoke an existing privilege prior to or at the time of renewal (MS ). In the EPs for MS , The Joint Commission says there is a clearly defined process facilitating the evaluation of each A supplement to Briefings on Credentialing 781/ /10 7
8 practitioner s professional practice, in which the type of information collected is determined by individual departments and approved by the organized medical staff. Information resulting from the ongoing professional practice evaluation is used to determine whether to continue, limit, or revoke any existing privilege.
