Rhode Island Medical Imaging receives designation

EAST PROVIDENCE – The American College of Radiology has named Rhode Island Medical Imaging one of the first outpatient diagnostic imaging Center of Excellence in the country.

“We are pleased to recognize Rhode Island Medical Imaging for their excellence in diagnostic imaging, and for their commitment to superior patient care,” said Dr. Debra Monticciolo, chair of the American College of Radiology Quality and Safety Commission. “RIMI is among the first outpatient facilities in the nation and in the Northeast to receive this honor. Achieving Center of Excellence status really sets RIMI’s quality apart and we commend them for this great accomplishment.”

In order to be considered as a Center of Excellence, at a minimum, facilities must be accredited by the ACR in all modalities they provide. An ACR survey team comprised of a radiologist, a medical physicist and an ACR administrator reviews all aspects of the facility’s operations, such as safety policies, equipment specifications, patient outcomes, quality control systems, utilization reviews, and personnel. The diagnostic imaging COE award takes accreditation to a higher level and offers recipients the ability to set the benchmark for outstanding quality diagnostic imaging.
