By achieving IAC Vascular Testing accreditation for 25 years, Mon Health Surgical Care has received a Silver Milestone Recognition for demonstrating its long-term commitment to continuously improving patient outcomes and safety. Every three-year cycle, accredited facilities undergo an intensive application and review process to re-earn accreditation, with an assessment conducted by a panel of medical experts. The IAC accreditation process enables both the critical operational and technical components of the applicant facility to be assessed, including representative case studies and their corresponding final reports.
Early detection of life-threatening heart disorders, stroke, and other diseases is possible through the use of vascular testing procedures performed within hospitals, outpatient centers, and physicians’ offices. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, one person dies every 33 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease. Stroke, a disorder of the blood supply to the brain, is a leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the country, with nearly 800,000 strokes occurring annually. IAC accreditation assesses the many factors that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on vascular testing. The training and experience of the technologist performing the procedure, the type of equipment used and the quality assessment metrics each facility is required to measure, all contribute to a positive patient outcome.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to have had our vascular lab accredited through the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission since 1998. We recognize then and now that developing standards to strive for the best quality health care for our patients throughout the years has always been a priority here at Mon Health Surgical Care. We have updated names, facilities, and many staff members have come and gone, but our commitment has never changed. We recognize all the hard work from everyone who has made this achievement possible and are proud to display the IAC plaque here in the vascular lab representing 25 years of quality health care” said Dr. Andy Heiskell.
Patients, referring physicians, and insurers look for the IAC seal of accreditation as the ‘gold standard’ in the field of vascular testing. Facilities that achieve IAC accreditation demonstrate a clear indicator that they provide a high-quality level of patient care.
