QUALITY:

Accreditation

• Midwest Ultrasound employs dedicated management to obtain and maintain the stringent requirements of the Intersocietal Commission for Accreditation of Vascular Labs (ICAVL)
  
• ICAVL Accreditation - "Seal Of Approval" Patients Can Count On.

§ By special arrangement

Private offices, clinics and departments within hospitals that are accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL) voluntarily submit to a review of their daily operations. By participating in the accreditation process, these medical facilities demonstrate a commitment to the performance of quality vascular testing and strive to meet nationally recognized standards. During the accreditation process, applicant vascular laboratories must submit documentation on every aspect of their daily operations. While completing the application, laboratories are required to identify and correct potential problems, revising protocols and validating quality assurance programs. Applications submitted, including samples of the vascular examinations performed, are reviewed by experts throughout the United States and Canada. Accreditation is granted only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with The ICAVL Standards. Once granted, ICAVL accreditation is valid for a period of three years, after which time the facility must undergo a repeat evaluation. (WWW.ICAVL.ORG)
