Review Process

It's basically the same review process prior to releasing for Trial Implementation or Publication (and if we want to be good, before Public Comment).

Remember, this is the QA point. It doesn't have to be perfect. It does have to be good.

Review and Approval

• Judge the document to be fit for the next phase (Technical Committee)
  • Schedule review meeting(s) as needed with open committee
  • Submit document 1 week before review meeting
  • Line-by-line review/walkthrough led by editor
  • Resolve questions/comments/clarifications
  • Record vote to approve the document as fit for the next phase (as quorum of regular attender list maintained by RSNA staff)

Criteria for Public Comment
