Remote Supervision
 

I feel this is necessary.  As Health care organizations continue to expand and purchase smaller more rural hospitals Radiology groups cannot physically be present and frequently opt to read remotely.  Allowing the Radiology Assistant this rule change will expand the ability for rural areas to get fluoroscopic studies performed in their local hospital as opposed to driving to a large center frequently a good distance away.  This rule amendment aligns with the scope of the RA and would be a positive move for the profession.

 

As a practicing RA I think this is long overdue.
