Empire Diagnostic Solutions Does it Again! Now Proudly Earning Accreditation by the ICAEL

In October of 2010, Empire Diagnostic Solutions (EDS) was awarded a three-year term of accreditation by the prestigious American College of Radiology (ACR).  That achievement, together with its existing accreditations by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL), allowed EDS to become the only mobile diagnostic company in the NY area, and one of a select few in the nation, to achieve such distinction.  

Taking excellence and quality to an even higher level, EDS has now earned yet another accreditation award by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL).  In doing so, EDS has once again set the standard, raising the bar on mobile imaging quality to a level unmatched by anyone in the industry.

Echocardiography is a complex imaging technique that relies on the experience and training of both the physician and sonographer. Their interpretive and technical abilities determine the diagnostic accuracy of the echocardiogram examination. The ICAEL has developed an accreditation program which evaluates the quality of these and other critical elements of an echocardiography laboratory.  With this accreditation, EDS is again recognized for its commitment to high quality patient care and its provision of quality diagnostic testing, this time in the field of echocardiography.

The ICAEL was established with support from the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography (SOPE) to encourage and recognize the provision of quality echocardiographic diagnostic testing and is dedicated to promoting and ensuring high quality patient care.

Empire Diagnostic Solutions Earns ACR Ultrasound Accreditation!

Empire Diagnostic Solutions (EDS) has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in ultrasound as the result of an extensive review by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards, following a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.

The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

EDS has always stood alone as the only mobile ultrasound company in the NY area accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL) and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). Now with accreditation by the ACR, EDS has truly set a new standard and brought mobile imaging to a level previously reserved for the finest medical centers and stationary imaging facilities.
