New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS) today proudly announces that its Radiation Oncology division has achieved reaccreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR). This remarkable accomplishment was made possible through the tireless, painstaking efforts of NYCBS’s dedicated providers and radiation support staff. The reaccreditation is a symbol of NYCBS’s commitment to providing patients access to high-quality radiation treatment, closer to where they live.
The rigorous ACR-accreditation process promotes patient quality and safety. Through the radiation oncology practice accreditation (ROPA), an impartial third party provides an evaluation of the practice’s staffing, equipment, treatment planning, and treatment records, as well as patient safety, procedures, and quality assurance/quality control (QC/QA).
“This is an amazing accomplishment, and I am proud that our dedicated radiation team was able to obtain this reaccreditation,” said Dr. Talha Shaikh, Chief of Radiation Oncology of NYCBS. “Obtaining reaccreditation by a renowned organization clearly demonstrates NYCBS’s commitment to providing patients with the high-quality radiation care they deserve.”
With numerous state-of-the-art radiation facilities across Long Island and New York City, NYCBS patients have convenient access to high-quality radiation treatment closer to home. NYCBS radiation sites offer a wide range of comprehensive radiation services, including Brachytherapy, Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT).
