Performance Standards of the Nerve Conduction Study Technologist

ABSTRACT. The primary performance standard of the nerve conduction study technologist is to perform nerve conduction studies (NCS) on patients with trauma or diseases of the peripheral nervous system. However, to be in compliance with various healthcare/medical accreditation agencies, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), or The Joint Commission [formerly known as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)], there are many other important performance objectives that must be met as well. It is the responsibility of the NCS technologist to meet these standards on a daily basis. Once these standards become an expected responsibility of the NCS technologist's position, the patient undergoing a nerve conduction study should be assured of a high quality test performed in an optimal safety environment.
