Florida Hospital DeLand Director Receives Certification

Nov. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- DeLand, Fla.– Florida Hospital DeLand Imaging Director, Wes Harden, is now a Certified Radiology Administrator (CRA).

The CRA is the only professional credential tailored specifically for radiology administrators.  The program is designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance and recognize administrators who demonstrate knowledge essential to the practice of radiology management.

To sit for the examination, candidates are required to meet experience, education, and other credentialing requirements.  The certification exam tests knowledge in five domain areas:  human resource management, asset resource management, fiscal management, operations management, and communications and information management.  The exam consists of questions based on these five management domains.  

Having CRA certification recognizes that an individual is not simply high performing but excels in these areas.  Certification is an independent verification of the professional’s skill set.

The CRA program, including the examination, is managed by the Radiology Administration Certification Commission (RACC), a self-governing body created to maintain the credentials’ integrity and relevance.
