NABPC

sorry for "new" thread.. HC glitch locked out my reply post to notawombat..

yes.. its a big positive wombat and I'd say more than an "endorsement"

to be accredited they need to monitor lymp and use a organised prevention program.. how would a program run using tape measure compared to SOZO .. ?? what are insurance companies going to do now..?? all pressure points to move SOZO use forward.. excerpt from the announcement see below...

The NAPBC is a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. NAPBC-accredited programs must understand, implement and demonstrate compliance with accreditation standards outlined in Optimal Resources for Breast Care, as written and defined by the NAPBC1.

Accredited centers must monitor compliance for standards and prepare for onsite review to maintain accreditation every three years.

The updated NABPC Standard Section 5.15 Survivorship notes that NABPC-accredited programs must use evidence-based guidelines to manage survivorship.

Examples of evidence-based guidelines include, but are not limited to, the following: •
Referral to outpatient rehabilitation for evaluation and treatment of lymphoedema, as needed; •
Use of a lymphoedema prevention program, including regular symptom assessment and clinical evaluation using objective measurements of lymphoedema, such as bioimpedance spectroscopy.

and they will be audited every 3 years to confirm they maintain accreditation...

it all just adds to the how we are going to win story.. 3 weeks ish till 4c..cheers ..
