Cabell Huntington Hospital earns gold seal ACR re-accreditation

Cabell Huntington Hospital (CHH) has been awarded another three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography (CT) as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). CT scanning, sometimes called CAT scanning, is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and tailor treatments for various medical conditions.

Under the leadership of Nancy Godby, MS-MHA, MA, RT(R)(M) ARRT, CHC, director of radiology at CHH, along with Stacy Davis, assistant director, and Amy Short, medical imaging supervisor, CHH has maintained continuous certification since 2014.

“Continuing to receive this designation is a testament to our commitment to providing the highest standard of care for our patients,” said Tim Martin, chief operating officer, CHH. “This recognition reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team, who continuously strives for excellence in medical imaging and patient safety.”

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after 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 back to the facility and provide the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
