Multiple
site
refers to laboratory sites operated by the same corporation/entity
and meeting the following criteria, without exception:
1.
All technologists performing any magnetic resonance procedures
at any of the sites must be included in the application for

2.
All physicians interpreting any MR procedures at any of the
sites must be included in the application for accreditation
in the Organization section.
3.
All sites must have the same Medical Director and Technical
Director.

CASE STUDY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MULTIPLE SITE POLICY
The ICAMRL requires that 5 case studies with final reports per testing area must be submitted. For complete information about case study requirements, please see the Case Studies section.>>
ADDING A MULTIPLE SITE OR A MOBILE SERVICE
Laboratories wanting to add a multiple site
and/or mobile service to an application that has already been
granted accreditation must complete the multiple site / mobile
service supplement and provide an updated Equipment and Instrumentation
Table. If any physicians and/or technologists
have been hired since accreditation was granted, it will be
necessary to contact the ICAMRL office regarding the submission
of staff forms for these staff members. In addition to the multiple
site / mobile service fee, there may be an added fee to review
the staff forms and representative cases. If the added multiple
site or mobile service is accepted into the laboratory's accreditation,
accreditation for the added multiple site or mobile service
will expire when the laboratory's original accreditation expires. |
