Shore Cancer Center’s Radiation Oncology Program announced its re-accreditation by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO), achieving the distinction with zero deficiencies.
This honor reaffirms the Center’s commitment to providing exceptional quality and safety in radiation oncology care, the Somers Point hospital said in a news release.
ACRO, a nationally recognized authority in radiation oncology practice standards, developed its accreditation program in 1995 to promote excellence in patient care. Accreditation is a rigorous, voluntary process in which professional peers conduct an audit to ensure that the practice adheres to the highest industry standards.
“Achieving ACRO re-accreditation with zero deficiencies is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire team,” Mei Gavrell, administrative director of Laboratory Services and Oncology, said in the release. “It reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of safety, collaboration, and excellence for the benefit of our patients and their families.”
ACRO accreditation not only assures patients and referring physicians of the practice’s adherence to quality standards but also distinguishes Shore Cancer Center’s radiation oncology program in an increasingly competitive healthcare environment. The accreditation process itself is invaluable, providing opportunities for team growth and enhanced collaboration while underscoring the importance of patient safety at every level of care.
“This achievement reaffirms our mission to deliver the highest level of care to our community,” added Gavrell. “It’s not just about meeting the standards—it’s about exceeding them.”
