Ontario Laboratory Accreditation

(November 2020)

Laboratory Accreditation took place in November, 2020.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the format of the assessment this year was virtual, not on-site. LACGH was the second Hospital in Ontario to complete its assessment in this mode. The team achieved 97% compliance with the standards – the Lab’s highest achievement to date.

Canadian Association of Radiologist’s Mammography Accreditation Program (CAR-MAP)

(March 2020)

LACGH Diagnostic Imaging’s Mammography Department is happy to share that the CAR-MAP Accreditation review was a success and the Department is accredited for another year.

The CAR-MAP program was first instituted in Ontario over 20 years ago to ensure that the quality of mammography images meets the highest standards for patients. This voluntary program assesses a facility based on four areas of quality:

  • Personnel Requirements: The right people to conduct a quality examination and oversee the rendering of optimal diagnostic images.
  • Quality Control: The appropriate tests are completed through the implementation of a quality assurance program and monitored QC to ensure the acquisition and presentation of optimal quality medical images.
  • Equipment Specifications: The right equipment operating in the manner it was intended.
  • Breast Image Quality: A Systematic Image Assessment by a qualified reviewer, ensuring the facility regularly evaluates the quality of its diagnostic images and the associated radiation doses.
