Accreditation

The Sleep Center at Crystal Run in Rock Hill received accreditation by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine – the national accrediting body for sleep disorder centers and laboratories for sleep related breathing disorders –– making it the first such accredited sleep center in Orange and Sullivan Counties.

First radiology department in the nation to receive accreditation for digital mammography and one of the first in New York State to be accredited for CT scans from the American College of Radiology. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety and is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards.

We are designated by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery as a Bariatric Surgery Center of excellence®.  The program recognizes surgeons and facilities that demonstrate an unparalleled commitment and ability to consistently deliver safe, effective, evidence-based care.

Accredited by COLA - the premier clinical laboratory education, consultation, and accreditation organization recognizing clinical laboratories and staff that meet CLIA and other regulatory requirements, act in accordance with Quality Systems, and provide the best possible patient care.

We were the first Echocardiography Lab in New York to receive accreditation from the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories. Echocardiogram is a safe, non-invasive procedure used to examine your heart and potentially diagnose problems using high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound). This accreditation first went to Harvard Medical School's major teaching hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital.

One of the first Nuclear Cardiology labs in North America recognized by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories for its commitment to high-quality patient care and quality diagnostic testing. Nuclear cardiology studies use noninvasive techniques to assess myocardial blood flow, evaluate the pumping function of the heart, as well as visualize the size and location of a heart attack.

In 2006, we became the only “private practice” in New York to earn the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission - the predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care-  reflecting Crystal Run’s longstanding commitment to provide the safest, highest quality of care to its patients.

Designated by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a level 3 Patient Centered-Medical Home for our use of information systems to measure practice-wide clinical quality and improve clinical outcomes at point of care. The Patient Centered Medical Home is a healthcare setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family, to assure that patients get the indicated care when and where they need and want it in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.

In 2010, Crystal Run was one of the first 16 community cancer care practices in the United States to receive ‘Quality Oncology Practice Initiatives Certification from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) for its cancer-related services. The QOPI® Certification Program is a new initiative to certify oncology practices that meet rigorous standards for high-quality cancer care.

Crystal Run Urgent Care was awarded the Certified Urgent Care Center designation by the Urgent Care Association of America – distinguishing is as a true urgent care center and part of a select few around the country that have met all of UCAOA’s nationally-standardized criteria.
