October 16, 2007 – Kimball Medical Center,
located in Lakewood, New Jersey, has been awarded a three-year term
of accreditation in nuclear medicine as the result of a recent survey
by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, awards
accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice
standards after a peer-review evaluation of its practice. Evaluations
are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists
who are experts in the field. They assess image quality, personnel
qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control
procedures, and quality assurance programs. The surveyors report
their finding to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which
subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than
32,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists,
nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs
for focusing on the practice of medical imaging, radiation oncology,
and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
