Thibodaux Regional Health System announced that its cancer center has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in Radiation Oncology. Radiation oncology (radiation therapy) is the careful use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer.
The ACR seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety. Accreditation is awarded only to facilities meeting specific practice guidelines and technical standards developed by ACR after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified radiation oncologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field.
Thibodaux Regional’s Cancer Center Radiation Oncology was rigorously evaluated based upon patient care and treatment, patient safety, personnel qualifications, equipment requirements, and quality assurance and control procedures.
