Standards
Standards build trust.
Responsible access depends on ethical providers, transparent practices, clear patient information, and a willingness to be held to higher standards.
Direction
Building a standards-oriented ecosystem
SCAN is building a standards-oriented ecosystem with patient trust at the center. This page introduces the direction without implying that a final certification program or provider directory is already live.
Principles
Principles SCAN is developing publicly
Patient-first communication
Information should be clear, accessible, and centered on patient understanding rather than promotional messaging.
Licensed clinical oversight
Procedures should be performed or supervised by appropriately licensed clinicians in accordance with state and federal requirements.
Transparent product sourcing and handling
Patients and partners should be able to understand where products come from, how they are handled, and what regulatory status applies.
Clear informed consent
Consent should be thorough, understandable, and ongoing — not a one-time signature on a form.
Evidence-aware marketing
Claims should reflect current evidence, regulatory status, and realistic expectations rather than promise or hype.
Privacy and data safeguards
Patient information should be handled with care, clear policies, and respect for applicable privacy requirements.
Willingness to participate in appropriate vetting
Providers and partners who engage with SCAN should be open to dialogue, transparency, and mutual accountability.
Inquiry
Provider / partner inquiry
For organizations and individuals interested in dialogue with SCAN. Submission does not imply any current or future endorsement, certification, or partnership.
Keep health details out of this form. Do not submit medical records, diagnosis details, imaging, lab results, or medication lists through this inquiry.
Coming later
Once the standards and certification model is finalized, this section can expand into a provider application portal, approved partner directory, provider education library, and reporting dashboard.
