Depending on who your accrediting organization is, your MRI safety standards may be written as unhelpfully as "be safe." But when the surveyor walks through that door, you know that they're going to have a checklist of items that they're going to be looking at. Wouldn't it level the playing-field a bit if you had some insight as to what the reviewer was looking for? Perhaps things like...

• Code response area
• MR Conditional tested and labeled equipment
• ACR 4-Zone MRI screening and access controls
• Ferromagnetic detection systems

You don't have to look any further than the Joint Commission's standards (EC 02.01.01) to know that you're going to be held to MRI safety standards. Now is the time to call the professionals who can help you prepare for (and respond to) your next State or accreditation survey.
