Ms. Cantu
has been with ACC Accreditation Services for 10 years,
working in multiple roles as an Accreditation Review
Specialist and most recently overseeing Programs and
Projects Development and Maintenance.
Ms. Cantu has over 26 years of experience in nursing.
Her previous role as a Clinical Specialist providing
support for a Laboratory Diagnostics company gave Ruth
insights into how Emergency Departments and Chest Pain
Centers worked with Laboratories. During this time, Ruth
worked collaboratively with the representatives of these
departments to educate and facilitate process
improvement and workflow development. This was the
inception of taking that knowledge and further expanding
into Accreditation Services. |

and customers, Ms. Cantu continues to monitor the latest
laboratory practice guidelines, diagnostic regulatory
requirements and clinical guidelines to stay current with the
advances in Acute Coronary Syndromes diagnostics. |
