Marathon, FL – October 15, 2019 – Fishermen’s Community Hospital has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography (CT) as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). CT scanning, sometimes called CAT scanning, is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and tailor treatments for various medical conditions.
“We are honored to receive this accreditation,” said JC Holmes, imaging services director at Fishermen’s Community Hospital. “Obtaining this recognition demonstrates our commitment to provide the safest and highest quality exams possible. It is something our team and community should be very proud of.” Titanium Dioxide Used In Plastics
The ACR Gold Seal of Accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by Board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed.
The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the facility with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
