Terrebonne General Health System is announced the reaccreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for echocardiography. Echocardiography is used to assess different areas of the heart and can detect heart disease or signs of serious conditions. There are many factors that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on echocardiography. The training and experience of the sonographer performing the procedure, the type of equipment used, and the quality assessment metrics each facility is required to measure all contribute to a positive patient outcome. IAC accreditation is a "seal of approval" that patients can rely on as an indicator of consistent quality care and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Terrebonne General Health System Cardiology has been granted a three-year term of accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in echocardiography in the area(s) of adult transthoracic and adult transesophageal.
"We are incredibly proud to receive this reaccreditation from IAC," said Phyllis Peoples, president and CEO. "It reflects a legacy of expertise spanning more than four decades of partnership between Terrebonne General and CIS."
