Lake Pointe Medical Center has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in MRI as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

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’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.

“This ACR accreditation recognizes the dedication of our employees and medical staff to ensure that we consistently meet these nationally accepted standards”, stated Tracy Sifuentes, Director of Imaging Services at Lake Pointe Medical Center.  “Being ACR accredited in MRI is a great honor.  Our patients expect the highest quality of care and customer service, and this designation is a testament to the dedication of our staff to meeting and exceeding their expectations each and every day.”

Physicians ordering diagnostic imaging for their patients can be assured that Lake Pointe has gone through a rigorous review process to meet these nationally accepted standards.  The accreditation means that the personnel are well-qualified, through education and certification, to perform and interpret medical images and administer radiation treatments.  It also signifies appropriate equipment is available and the facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines.
