Quality Improvement Certificate Program
Introduced in 2011, the RSNA Quality Improvement Certificate program is designed to recognize individuals who demonstrate a threshold level of knowledge in various quality improvement domains. Participants in designated RSNA quality courses are recognized for their achievements, and also gain knowledge in quality improvement, its significance to radiology, and best-practice quality improvement techniques.

To earn a Quality Essentials Certificate (QEC), participants must correctly answer a minimum of 80% of the post-test questions and complete the course evaluation.

Each Quality Improvement Course is assigned to one of the following four domains:

Quality Improvement in Your Practice (QIP)
Staff and Patient Safety (SPS)
Customer Satisfaction (CS)
Radiologist Performance Improvement (RPI)

Additionally, the RSNA offers an Advanced Level Quality Certificate (ALQC). To qualify for an ALQC, participants must earn a QEC in each of the four domains and be an author on an RSNA Quality Improvement Report, presented at an RSNA Annual Meeting.

This course qualifies for the Quality Improvement in Your Practice (QIP) Quality Essentials Certificate. For more information about the Quality Improvement Certificate Program please visit: www.rsna.org/QICP
