RE: RNS CLIA appointed Lab in Texas24 Mar 2025 09:30
When you ask Google AI, "is it the lab or the test that requires a CLIA?"
It answers:
"Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), the laboratory, not the individual test, requires certification. Any facility performing tests on human specimens for diagnosis, prevention, or treatment needs a CLIA certificate."
So looking at today's RNS and this specific section;
"The accreditation process involved an evaluation of a laboratory's operations, including its testing procedures, quality control, personnel qualifications, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Labs that achieve COLA accreditation demonstrate a commitment to maintaining high standards of accuracy, reliability, and patient safety in diagnostic testing to ensure they meet CLIA standards and can legally operate."
I still wonder why we have jitters? I believe a previous RNS might have indicated a direction at that time to get a lab without certification certified.
This is now no longer necessary as the lab we are using is.
