Accreditations
Our commitment to providing the highest level of quality care to patients is demonstrated by our accreditation from The Joint Commission and American College of Radiology. These esteemed accreditations are a result of our compliance to the most stringent standards of performance.
The Joint Commission
The MRI, CT, PET/CT, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Cardiac/Angio, Bone Densitometry (DEXA) and Digital Mammography mobile and fixed-site services from DMS Health Technologies have earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™.
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Since 1951, The Joint Commission has maintained state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations. The Joint Commission's comprehensive accreditation process evaluates an organization's compliance with these standards and other accreditation requirements. Joint Commission accreditation is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization's commitment to meeting certain performance standards. To earn and maintain The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval, an organization must undergo an on-site survey by a Joint Commission survey team at least every three years.
Individuals may contact The Joint Commission to report any concerns or register any complaints that DMS Health Technologies has not addressed regarding the safety and quality of care provided by the mobile imaging division by phone (800.994.6610) or email at complaint@jointcommission.org.

American College of Radiology (ACR)
Mobile mammography services from DMS Health Technologies received accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the service. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of the facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
