Heart Institute Recognized for Excellence in Pediatric Echocardiography

In 2024, the Heart Institute is celebrating 25 years of excellence in pediatric echocardiography, as recognized by the Intersocietal Accreditation Committee (IAC). Founded in 1991, IAC is a nationally recognized nonprofit with a goal to improve healthcare by setting rigorous standards and evaluation methods for diagnostic imaging, interventional programs and therapeutic procedures. In 1999, the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado became one of the first facilities accredited by IAC in pediatric echocardiography. Since then, it has maintained IAC’s benchmarks for quality imaging, patient safety and process improvement.
