Also included in the survey process was a roundtable discussion with staff that focused on how issues of communication and patient satisfaction are addressed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Radiology Department is now required to participate in the General Radiology Improvement Database (GRID) and the Dose Index Registry (DOI). The purpose of collecting and submitting data to these agencies is to \u201cbenchmark\u201d our results against other facilities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Jamaica Hospital radiologists and technologists also agreed to take a pledge to \u201cImage Wisely\u201d and \u201cImage Gently,\u201d which means they promise to use the least possible dosage to obtain the best images possible.<\/p>\n<p>Jamaica Hospital, along with Flushing Hospital, are the only two Queens-based hospitals, and two of only a handful of hospitals in New York City to achieve this honor.<\/p>\n<p>According to Radiology Chairperson, Sabiha Raoof, MD, \u201cWe are very proud to have achieved the Center of Excellence Designation, which demonstrates our hard work and exemplifies our high standards of offering the highest level of imaging quality, safety and care.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareJamaica Hospital Medical Center has recently been designated a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence\u2122 (DICOE) by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
