The new accreditation agreement provides a formal understanding with the medical director that the facility will comply with the requirements of the Diagnostic Accreditation Program and abide by the defined responsibilities of an accredited organization. The accreditation agreement is aligned with the College Bylaws and has been developed to meet internationally recognized accreditation standards for accrediting bodies.
The signed agreement is required prior to an initial assessment, at the next scheduled assessment and when there is a change in medical director.
