The average inspection time for a facility with three tubes is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours not including the exit interview. Generally, administrative record review takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. The length of an inspection varies and is contingent upon the number of x-ray tubes at your facility, your patient schedule and the number of questions you may have regarding the inspection or other related matters. It should be noted that state statutes require that facilities provide reasonable access to inspectors. Inspectors are instructed to work with facility staff when on site and to avoid disruption of patient care whenever possible.
State inspectors make every effort to accommodate a facility's patient schedule. If your facility is to be visited, the state inspector will contact the person who is most accountable for your x-ray program to schedule the inspection. Inspectors typically provide advanced notifications of facility visits.
