Online Accreditation The ICANL Application is online! The much anticipated Online Accreditation is available for use by laboratories when applying for accreditation or reaccreditation. The ICANL is pleased to make this innovative online format (which replaces the former Application CD) available to the nuclear medicine community.

UPLOADING ATTACHMENTS TO ONLINE ACCREDITATION

PAPERLESS SUBMISSION

In an effort to streamline the accreditation process, the ICANL Accreditation application process is now available online. Applicant laboratories are required to upload and submit all protocols and attachments (i.e.: board certificates, medical licenses, radioactive materials licenses, etc.) electronically. (Note: Case study materials, i.e. reports, hard copy and CDs, must still be shipped to the ICANL office, in duplicate.)

The Online Accreditation application makes the uploading of electronic or scanned documents an easy process. Upon being prompted within the application for a specific document, the user simply clicks “browse," selects the appropriate document from their computer and then clicks “open." The document is then automatically uploaded to the correct location within the application. The following file formats can be uploaded: .txt, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .tif, .tiff, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, and .zip files. Documents with file extensions other than those listed above are not currently accepted. It is important to remember that the file size for each document must be less than 4 MB. This includes .zip files.

LABORATORIES IN NEED OF SCANNING SERVICES

It may be necessary for laboratory staff to scan some hard copy documents (i.e.: board certificates) in order to upload them into the application. If the laboratory does not have a scanner, documents can be scanned at local business services stores (e.g.: FedEx Kinko’s Office, etc.) and saved to a memory stick or CD to later upload into the application. The ICANL will offer the service of scanning hard copy documents for uploading into the application. For more information on the ICANL scanning service, please click here.

The ICANL is here to help. Fully staffed with clinical and administrative personnel, the ICANL staff is trained to guide you through the application process. Call 800-838-2110 or email today for assistance.
