How Does the Accreditation Process Work?

KRP Accreditation Specialists...

Become the project coordinator from afar for the vascular or echocardiocraphy lab accreditation process. All data is sent to our office for review. This entire process is completed offsite unless there is a specific need to visit the lab. This process is optimal for cost containment and efficiency with daily laboratory operation.

Set deadline dates, delegates duties required for the self study documentation and ensures laboratory cooperation with application submissions.

Review and critique laboratory policies and procedures and assists in correcting what is deficient. This may include writing policies and procedures, providing quality assurance mechanisms and compiling statistical data required for the self study documentation.

Carefully review and critique all case studies that will be used for the application. Ongoing review of imaging improvement is completed to ensure optimal outcome with case study selections.

Prepare the final application into submission form as required by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission:

all data is entered on the CD-ROM electronic application (which can be updated and used for reaccreditation)
copies for ICAVL or ICAEL (two copies required)
one copy for the laboratory with completed CD-ROM electronic application
one copy is retained in KRP Accreditation Specialists' corporate office

Each laboratory will receive upon completion a complete binder of submitted data, policies and procedures, disks of the IAC application, and laboratory specific policies.

Accreditation Application Review

This consultation is a preliminary review, with written critique and suggestions, of the laboratory's prepared application for ICAVL/ICAEL.

KRP Accreditation Specialists will review the laboratory's data, policies and procedures, QA data and case studies to ensure that the laboratory's application has been prepared satisfactorily and in compliance with IAC Essentials and Standards.

KRP Accreditation Specialists has done this numerous times for other labs and has a 100% success record based on previous submissions.

Other Options:

Reaccreditation
Self-study documentation and case study review

For both options the documentation is reviewed and critiqued. If needed, recommendations are made prior to the submission to ICAVL or ICAEL. This ensures accuracy in completing the required documentation and minimizes application deficiencies.
