Geneva General Hospital Earns ACR Ultrasound Accreditation

Geneva- Geneva General Hospital has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in ultrasound as the result of an extensive review by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®). Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal body parts to help providers diagnose illness, injury or other medical problems. 

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported back to the facility and provide the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement. 

Geneva General Hospital, part of UR Medicine Finger Lakes Health, is committed to improving the health and well-being of its diverse communities.
