Excelsior Orthopaedics, has received Accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Magnetic Resonance Laboratories (ICAMRL) for the MRI machine.
Participation in the accreditation process is voluntary, indicating a facility’s commitment to quality magnetic resonance imaging and a willingness to meet ICAMRL’s nationally recognized, intersocietal standards for providers of MRI procedures.
“By voluntarily seeking and acquiring accreditation, Excelsior Orthopaedics has demonstrated their commitment to quality. We are delighted to recognize this facility as one of the first ICAMRL accredited labs.” Said ICAMRL CEO Sandra Katanick.
Laboratories that apply for accreditation are required to document detailed information about all operational and technical components, submit protocols and do case studies. During the review process, every aspect of the daily operations and their impact on quality of health care provided to patients are assessed and reviewed by a panel of experts.
The ICAMRL is comprised of five sponsoring organizations: the American Academy of Neurology, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American College of Cardiology, and the American Society of Neuroimaging and the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance. Accreditation is recognized and in some cases required by referring physicians, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), third party payors and the public.
