Emergency Cardiac Imaging receives Joint Commission accreditation

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has granted accreditation to Emergency Cardiac Imaging (ECI), an organization specializing in post-processing and interpretation of cardiovascular CT.

The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation's healthcare through voluntary accreditation.

Paul D. Burns, president and CEO of ECI, said that the core of its “business centers around providing expertise for Chest Pain Triage on a 24/7/365 basis, which demands the highest level of quality and patient care.  We recognize that delivering quality is a dynamic event and one that we look forward to continuously improving upon.”
