Abstract

Continuing quality assurance is an integral part of the present-day practice of medicine. Compliance by health care providers to quality standards set by organizations such as the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is a matter of public record that can be carefully examined by the public as well as Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and other health insurance providers. Throughout this book references have been made to standards of quality set by the Intersocietal Commission for Accreditation of Nuclear Laboratories (ICANL).
