The JACIE inspection process should be considered as being similar to the peer-review process in learned journals. 1. Qualifications: The following are the minimum criteria for an inspector:
2. Training To promote uniformity and consistency in the process, and fairness to applicant facilities, it is important that inspectors have a common, up-to-date understanding of the principles of the JACIE Standards and of the approach the organisation takes to the inspection and accreditation process. To this end, inspectors shall complete certain specific training courses, ongoing inspector development and self-assessment materials, and the associated post-course exam. In addition, each inspector shall be provided with current materials of the Accreditation Programme, including a copy of Standards and the Accreditation Manual. For purposes of education or specific inspector training, technical personnel, interns, residents or other staff physicians may accompany the inspection team if permission for observers to be present has been granted in advance from the Programme Director, Collection Facility Medical Director, or Laboratory Director. Such individuals will not perform independently any of the portions of the inspections. NOTE: JACIE will only consider applications to be appointed a JACIE Inspector from individuals who have attended an Inspector Training Course and who satisfy the above criteria.
