Personnel and department accreditation is a means by which institutions can evaluate, demonstrate, and maintain the highest level of patient care. In this article we will discuss the certification and resources for physicians (RPVI) and technologists (RVT) who provide care to patients in the vascular lab (VL) as well as information about certification by the two accrediting bodies – the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) – that accredit VLs.

Noninvasive vascular testing provides timely delivered valuable information to healthcare providers. Personnel and department accreditation is a means by which institutions can evaluate, demonstrate, and maintain the highest level of patient care. Accreditation recognizes quality vascular testing services, but also facilitates a process of education and quality assurance to improve the overall quality of vascular labs (VL). In this article we will discuss the certification and resources for physicians (RPVI) and technologists (RVT) who provide care to patients in the VL as well as information about certification by the two accrediting bodies – the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) – that accredit VLs.
