Commitment to Quality and Compliance Excellence:

Inland Imaging’s commitment to Quality and Compliance Excellence is practiced at every level of Inland Imaging organizations. Continuous education, training, measurement and improvement are a part of each department’s daily work.

Each Inland entity supports Quality, Safety and Compliance Committees that meet regularly to review clinical quality measures and implement action plans to achieve improvements throughout the organization.

What we measure:

• Patient wait time for scheduled appointments
• Patient report turn around time
• Patient Report Quality
• Patient satisfaction surveys
• Patient Safety and Incident tracking
• Physician Excellence

Our Quality, Safety and Compliance goals:

• Safety First: Every effort will be made to care for the patient safely and appropriately each and every visit.
• Timeliness: Wait times and delays are wasteful for patients and referring physicians. Efficient turn around time for patient reporting assists in timely diagnosis and critical to patient care.
• Patient-centered: Patient safety is a priority throughout Inland Imaging, with our leadership, physicians and staff.

Our Quality Committee evaluates safety concerns raised by staff, patients or family members. The committee is responsible for developing steps to improve the safety and environment for each patient when they receive care.

Data analysis and reporting capabilities facilitate operational improvements and decision-making. Analyzing the data and acting upon the outcomes assists Inland Imaging to improve their processes and increase the quality of care each patient receives.

Inland Imaging is committed to protecting privacy and confidentiality of medical information. The Inland Notice of Privacy Practices describes how Inland may use or disclose protected health information to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations, and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes a patient’s rights to access and control protected health information.

Accountability

Each Workforce Member has two obligations to Inland to assure corporate compliance. First, Inland believes all of its employees must all be aware of their own behavior and the laws affecting that behavior to act properly. Secondly, it is each employee’s duty to report any incident of improper conduct or non-compliance. Any Workforce Member is free to contact any manager or officer to report an incident without fear of repercussion.

Inland will perform reference checks for all prospective employees, including query of the OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE).

Inland has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth the standards for business ethics to be followed by every Workforce Member.
