FAQ
Common questions about MQSA CME compliance
What are the MQSA CME requirements for interpreting physicians?
Interpreting physicians must complete 15 Category 1 CME credits in mammography every 36 months. At least 6 of these credits must be in each mammographic modality used. Our platform helps track these requirements and sends timely reminders.
How does the platform help maintain MQSA compliance?
Our platform provides automated tracking of CME credits, real-time compliance monitoring, secure certificate storage, and automated notifications for upcoming deadlines. We also generate comprehensive reports for MQSA inspections.
Can multiple facilities share the same account?
Yes, our platform supports multi-facility management. Each facility can have its own administrators and staff while sharing resources and maintaining separate compliance records. This is particularly useful for healthcare networks managing multiple mammography facilities.
How do you ensure data security and HIPAA compliance?
We implement enterprise-grade security measures including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, audit logging, and secure backup systems. Our platform is fully HIPAA-compliant and regularly undergoes security audits.
What happens if we're approaching a compliance deadline?
Our system sends automated notifications at 90, 60, and 30 days before any deadline. If credits are still needed, the platform can suggest relevant CME opportunities and escalate notifications to supervisors when necessary.
How do you handle staff transitions and record retention?
The platform maintains comprehensive records even after staff departures, meeting MQSA's record retention requirements. When new staff join, their previous CME credits can be easily imported and verified.
What kind of support do you provide?
We offer 24/7 technical support, dedicated compliance assistance, and regular platform training. Our team includes MQSA compliance experts who can help with specific questions or concerns about maintaining compliance.
