The American College of Radiology (ACR) has awarded accreditation to San Antonio Regional Hospital for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of its practice. Image quality and procedure evaluations are conducted by board-certified radiologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field.
The program also evaluates personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs. All findings are reported to the hospital via a comprehensive report that includes recommendations for improvement.
San Antonio Regional Hospital is designated by Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) as a receiving center in San Bernardino County for a particular kind of heart attack called a “STEMI”. ST elevation myocardial infarction heart attacks, or STEMI, are caused by a clot or clots in one or more of the coronary arteries and require treatment within 90 minutes after the attack. (ST refers to a segment on the wave on the electrocardiogram doctors look at to determine a STEMI heart attack.) Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency designated San Antonio Regional Hospital as a STEMI-receiving center based on the experience and expertise of its medical team and the advanced technology and processes the hospital already has in place to rapidly handle heart-attack patients.
