Multiple site refers to laboratory sites operated by the same
corporation/entity and meeting the following criteria, without exception:
1. All technologists performing any CT procedures at any of the
sites must be included in the application for accreditation.
2. All physicians performing and/or interpreting any CT 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.
4. All physicians and technologists must participate together
in quality assurance and education programs, including in-house
conferences.
5. All sites utilize similar protocols.
CASE STUDY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MULTIPLE SITE 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.
