We Help With
All Your Accreditation Needs
Accreditation
Delayed Status
The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) is not a pass/fail organization. If a facility does not meet all requirements, IAC issues a Delayed Status.
IAC provides a detailed list of any items that need to be addressed. CardioServ can address all these needs, work with your facility and submit the rectification package on your behalf.
CardioServ also helps you to address deficiencies identified through ACR and The Joint Commission
You will receive any necessary training during the rectification process to ensure full comprehension and ongoing compliance.

Audits
All accrediting organizations have an audit system. IAC issues mid-cycle online audits after a facility has earned accreditation, with a very few labs randomly selected for either a virtual or an on-site audit.
ACR requires you to remain audit ready as all ACR accredited facilities face the possibility of an unannounced site visit.
The Joint Commission performs an on-site audit (survey) of your facility prior to granting accreditation. Your surveyor will provide you with feedback and any follow up expectations.
CardioServ can assist you with your online, virtual or site visit audits.

Accrediting Bodies
Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC)
Originally, known as: ICAEL (echo), ICAVL (vascular), ICANL (nuclear),
until incorporating all of its divisions into one organization (IAC) in 2008.
IAC requires the submission of abnormal case studies to ensure that
pathology is captured and interpreted correctly. There is a focus on report
completeness and quality improvement measures.
IAC is not a pass/fail organization but rather a Delayed Status is issued
for any facility not meeting the requirements with their first submission.
A detailed list of needed items is supplied by IAC, making rectification an
easy process.
Call now
561-962-2319
American College of Radiology (ACR)
ACR provides accreditation in Vascular Ultrasound and Nuclear Cardiology.
ACR requires the submission of normal case studies, unlike IAC that
requires abnormal cases. With ACR there is a greater focus on the quality
control of medical equipment, to ensure quality diagnostic medical imaging.
ACR IS a pass/fail organization. There is a process to repeat your
accreditation after reviewing your deficiencies, but there is an additional fee
to re-apply.
Virtual or onsite audits are issued randomly to facilities. Not all facilities
receive an onsite audit but it is recommended to remain audit ready.
Call now
561-962-2319
The Joint Commission (TJC)
The Joint Commission offers an Advanced Imaging Services Accreditation.
After submitting your application with TJC you will be assigned your own
Joint Commission account executive to help guide you through the process.
All facilities seeking accreditation through TJC require an onsite survey.
Any areas for improvement will be outlined by your surveyor and you have
30 days to address the concerns.

Accreditation
MIPS
The process of accreditation is recognized by Medicare as an Improvement Activity to satisfy a component of the MIPS Improvement Activity score. CardioServ will assist with the implementation and documentation of the required 90 day activity and report via attestation to CMS.
Take advantage of activities you are already completing for accreditation to earn points towards your total MIPS score. Avoid -9% loss in Medicare reimbursement and aim for the highest points with the highest potential for positive reimbursement adjustments.
