Northwest Health System’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center has received accreditation for ultrasound practice in obstetrics.
“We are very proud of this accreditation and of being the only center in NWA to be recognized for this level of service to our patients,” said Dr. BJ Canzoneri, maternal fetal medicine specialist said. “It is with great pride that we accept this acknowledgement of our dedication to quality care for the patients we serve.”
The Center achieved this recognition by meeting rigorous voluntary guidelines set by the diagnostic ultrasound profession. All facets of the practice were assessed, including the training and qualifications of physicians and sonographers; ultrasound equipment maintenance; documentation; storage, and record-keeping practices; policies and procedures to protect patients and staff; quality assurance methods; and the thoroughness, technical quality and interpretation of the sonograms the practice performs.
