ICANL, the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories, and the ACR, the American College of Radiology, requires labs to demonstrate the highest standards of “commitment to quality patient care and diagnostic evaluations.”
Why Do We Need Accreditation? Many insurance companies, including UnitedHealth Group, require accreditation for reimbursement. United Health Group has mandated all imaging facilities be accredited by March 1, 2008. Accreditation guarantees a standard for quality.
Why HCI? Years of experience have enabled us to guide you through your Nuclear Medicine, Echo and Vascular Accreditation. We give you more than a computer program, we give you the personal attention necessary to complete the task.
Obtaining accreditation is by no means easy. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced. The accreditation team consists of Technologists who have gained accreditation for numerous labs. We know how time-consuming this process is. We also know that Technologists work hard and are time-starved. We will review all policies and procedures, provide site-specific manuals, and assist in implementing additional policies, including a Quality Assurance Program.
Applying for Re-Accreditation is just as rigorous as a first-time application. Not only are you expected to prove compliance and commitment with the standards of quality, but also demonstrate efforts to improve your lab’s quality. We will guide you every step of the way!
