A mobile service is comprised of one
or more units (technologist and equipment) that provide CT services
at one or more locations and meet the following criteria, without
exception:
1. All CT procedures that are performed at
the mobile locations must be interpreted by the physicians
included in the application for accreditation.
2. All technologists performing any CT procedures
at the mobile locations must be included in the application
for accreditation.
3. The entire mobile service must share the
same Medical Director and Technical Director.
4. All physicians and technologists must participate
together in quality assurance and education programs, including
in-house conferences.
5. The entire mobile service must utilize
similar protocols.
CASE STUDY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MOBILE SERVICE POLICY
The ICACTL requires that 5 case studies with final reports per testing area must be submitted. For complete information about case study requirements, please see Case Studies.
ADDING A MULTIPLE SITE OR A MOBILE
SITE
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 Table and QC
Table. If any
physicians and/or technologists have been hired since accreditation
was granted, it will be necessary to contact the ICACTL 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. |
THINGS
TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A MOBILE SERVICE LABORATORY
If eligible, applicants with a mobile service may apply with a single application and will be assessed an additional
$1200 fee for each system used in the mobile service.
If accreditation is granted, it will be granted to the mobile service
collectively, and not to each location individually (although the name and
address of each location will be entered into the ICACTL
database).
Applicants with mobile services
that are granted accreditation will receive one certificate,
listing the institution name as listed in the accreditation
agreement.
All ICACTL correspondence
will go through the institution listed on the accreditation
agreement. |
