About neurodiagnostics
Neurodiagnostic testing accreditation standards promote patient safety and quality care in facilities performing EEG, Tele-EEG, EMG and EP.
CPSA accredits private and public neurodiagnostic testing facilities where diagnostic services are provided by physicians. We develop best-practice standards and conduct on-site assessments when facilities open and reassess on a 4-year cycle. We also reassess if a facility adds a new service, renovates, moves, or if a concern is brought forward.
Want to know if your neurodiagnostic testing facility has CPSA Accreditation? Email us using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
Credentialing & privileging
Medical directors are responsible for decisions on credentialing and privileging of regulated members within their CPSA-accredited medical facilities. Having a robust credentialing and privileging process is one of the most important ways medical directors support safe, high-quality patient care.
Information for new facilities
Assessing new facilities
We assess new facilities before they open to the public. Facilities have to register with us to start the process.
Register a new neurodiagnostics facility
If you would like to open a facility that offers neurophysiology testing (EEG, EMG or EP), you need to get an assessment and CPSA accreditation before opening. When your facility is ready to start testing, let us know and we’ll schedule and perform an on-site assessment to either accredit you or ask you to make some improvements. It costs $300 +GST to register a new facility. See more information about facility annual fees and assessment fees.
If you’re a medical director of a new facility and you’ve already registered with us, we recommend reviewing the program guide for new facilities to prepare for your assessment
