Intersocietal Accreditation Commission vascular testing accredited facility seal

Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL)

The purpose of the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories accreditation program is to ensure high quality patient care and to promote health care by providing a mechanism to encourage and recognize the provision of quality vascular diagnostic evaluations by a process of accreditation.

Through the accreditation process, facilities assess every aspect of daily operation and its impact on the quality of health care provided to patients. While completing the accreditation application, facilities often identify and correct potential problems, revise protocols and validate quality improvement programs. Because accreditation is renewed every three years, a long-term commitment to quality and self-assessment is developed and maintained. Facilities may use IAC accreditation as the foundation to create and achieve realistic quality care goals.
