Have your say on the new medical imaging accreditation scheme
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is seeking feedback on the Australian Safety and Quality Medical Imaging Accreditation (ASQMIA) Scheme proposal.
The proposed changes to the accreditation of medical imaging practices have been designed to ensure accreditation meets sector and consumer expectations regarding safety and quality in medical imaging.
The ASQMIA Scheme will replace the Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme (DIAS).
Provide your feedback on the Australian Safety and Quality Medical Imaging Accreditation (ASQMIA) Scheme proposal
Health professionals and health consumers are invited to review the proposed accreditation scheme, share their experiences, and offer their insights on safety and quality in medical imaging.
The Commission welcomes feedback on the following questions:
Does any of the content of the ASQMIA Scheme need clarification?
Is the categorising of imaging practices by risk, appropriate?
In comparison to the Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme (DIAS) desktop assessment, will the ASQMIA Scheme assessment improve medical imaging safety and quality?
Does your organisation have the IT infrastructure (internet and portable device) to complete a virtual assessment?
Do you have any concerns or other feedback about the ASQMIA Scheme?
Please provide your feedback before Friday 18 July 2025.
