HASTINGS — Grand Island Mammography, part of Mary Lanning Healthcare, recently received a three-year reaccreditation from 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 organizations that meet ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. Findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which provides the practice with a comprehensive report to be used for continuous improvement.
Tami Lipker, MLH Director of Diagnostic Imaging, said the reaccreditation shows the high quality of care being given at Grand Island Mammography.
“Our employees work tirelessly to improve the patient experience, making them feel as comfortable as possible,” Lipker said.
The ACR, founded in 1924, is a professional medical society dedicated to serving patients and society by empowering radiology professionals to advance practice, science and professions of radiological care. It serves more than 37,000 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 healthcare services.
