ACR Accreditation Received by Several Radiology Depts.

Marion Health PMi MRI and CT departments were recently accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The ACR - a national organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists awards accreditations to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards and assesses qualifications of the personnel, adequacy of facility equipment, effectiveness of quality-control measures, and quality of clinical images.

The accreditations recognize the professionalism of our radiologists and staff’s commitment to providing the highest level of quality patient care:

Robin Heiny RT(R)(CT)(MR) and Jennifer Klein RT(R) played a pivotal role in receiving the new accreditations awarded by the ACR. They worked many hours to compile and submit the meticulous documentation needed for ACR accreditation.

Marion Health was also recognized for re-accreditation for Nuclear Medicine and CT services. The staff that made re-accreditation possible was;

CT – Nick Cain, Amy Drook, Jessica Fansler, Renee Miller, April Stout, Scott McGibbon, and Keith Vice

Nuclear Medicine – Betsy Bouwkamp and Jay Taylor

“Our new accreditations and re-accreditations recognize the quality, professionalism and technical ability of our radiology department,” states Lynn Imel, administrative director of radiology. “We see these recognitions as yet another example of excellence at Marion Health.”

The accreditations are valid through 2013.
