Cancer Treatment Recognition: ACR Accreditation for Radiation Oncology
The American College of Radiology (ACR) has awarded Inova Alexandria Hospital a three-year term of accreditation in radiation oncology, which is the careful use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer (October 2, 2013).
“Achieving ACR accreditation means our facility has gone through a rigorous review process and has met specific qualifications,” says Jane Grayson, MD, Chief of Radiation Oncology at Inova Alexandria Hospital.
The ACR seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific practical 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.
