PrintACR Accreditation
Colquitt Regional Medical Center has been awarded a three-year accreditation in 64-slice computerized axial tomography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology.
The ACR awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with program focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
Colquitt Regional Medical Center’s diagnostic imagining department has a staff of more than 50 employees, eight different modalities and eleven pieces of diagnostic equipment, according to David Spence, RTR, director. He says CRMC’s diagnostic imaging department strives to stay on the cutting edge of technology.
