CIVISTA RECEIVES ULTRASOUND ACCREDITATION
Civista Medical Center has been awarded accreditation in Ultrasound
as the result of a recent stringent survey by the American College of
Radiology (ACR).
ACR awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice
standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Civista voluntarily
went through a rigorous review process to be sure it met nationally
accepted standards.
Civista’s Ultrasound Imaging Services were surveyed by the Committee
on Ultrasound Accreditation of the Commission on Quality and Safety.
The accreditation was granted for gynecological, general and vascular
ultrasound services including peripheral vascular, cerebrovascular and
deep abdominal vascular services.
The accreditation indicates the personnel are well qualified, through
education and certification, to perform and interpret medical images,
the equipment is appropriate for the test or treatment received, and
the facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.
Evaluations were conducted by board-certified physicians who are experts
in the field. They assessed the qualifications of the personnel and
the adequacy of facility equipment.
Civista recently invested substantially in the most up to date equipment
offering 3 and 4D sonograms. Patients receiving any type of ultrasound
have the procedure done by a qualified and credentialed sonographer
and the exams are read by a board-certified radiologist.
