IAC Accredits Point-of-Care CT

Representing a milestone in the evolution of point-of-care CT imaging, IAC has released standards for CT accreditation. The program recognizes and will accredit private physicians to perform and read CT scans at the point of care. In particular, the standards contain explicit provisions for dedicated sinus and temporal bone scanning facilities. This means that your facility can be accredited for MiniCAT™ point of care diagnostic CT services.

The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) has been in existence since 1990 and has established accreditation programs for PET, MRI, and CT, among other modalities. Uniform guidelines from an established, third party professional accreditation organization is a common-sense approach to ensure that imaging is being performed safely and effectively by qualified equipment and personnel. It eliminates the need for arbitrary requirements which have dotted the reimbursement landscape over the last few months.

Now that the IAC CT accreditation program has been announced, Xoran MiniCAT™ customers have a great way to officially demonstrate the quality of their services to patients, staff, and insurance payors.
