The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) (13087) is launching a web-based product to enhance lab quality and facilitate the accreditation process: The ASE Echo ToolBox.

ASE Echo ToolBox will give the cardiovascular ultrasound community the ability to organize and document a lab’s practices.

ASE Echo ToolBox offers “wizards” to walk labs through creating policies and protocols, it identifies gaps in the lab’s application, and improves its ability to meet Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories minimum standards.
