The Importance of OAR CBMD Facility Accreditation:
The CBMD online program recognizes through peer review, facilities that have demonstrated high equipment performance, effectiveness of quality control, and exceptional staff qualifications to improve the quality of patient care and to facilitate the appropriate treatment of patients by their attending physicians.
The program has been designed to be educational and aims to improve the quality of patient care.
The benefits to facilities begin with the commitment to a Standard of Excellence for BMD testing to ensure optimum patient care.
The OAR CBMD Facility Accreditation Program provides the template, processes, and procedures to ensure that the highest national standards are not only met, but where possible exceeded:
Ensures the highest standard of testing and quality patient health management
Reassures the public and referring physicians that technologists and equipment meet the highest standards possible
Minimizes the possibility of misdiagnosis due to differences in technology, reporting and facilities
Through enhanced reporting standards can contribute to overcoming the “care gap” between disease recognition and treatment provided
Ensure compliance with regulatory bodies
