Recommendations

Clearly define the purpose of medical event reporting in a
publicly available document and clarify the reporting
requirements.

Proactively provide all medical licensees with medical event
tracking/trending information for lessons-learned purposes.

Develop and implement policy and procedures that require
periodic assessments of NRC's approach to medical event
reporting. These assessments should include whether
i. The intended purpose of the reporting requirements
is being met.
ii. The thresholds of the reporting requirements are
appropriate.

Develop and implement policy and procedures to guide
provision of sufficiently detailed and timely feedback to ACMUI
from NRC staff.
