May 2015—Quality control is second nature and part of the air that laboratories breathe. So it’s no surprise that QC should be subject to quality checks of its own, as one of the pivotal checklist areas that CAP’s Laboratory Accreditation Program focuses on during inspections.
May 2014—Gerald Hoeltge, MD, chair of the CAP Checklists Committee, is pretty sure he knows exactly the way many laboratories will react to a particular change in the latest edition of the Laboratory Accreditation Program checklists, which launch this month.
March 2014—Like Gypsy Rose Lee, tests and their true nature reveal themselves bit by bit. For immunohistochemistry, this unhurried disclosure has meant evolving ideas of whether these tests must indeed be validated and, if so, then how, exactly. The discussion recently culminated in a new CAP guideline for laboratories.
October 2013—For anyone worried about the new CAP reporting templates for cancer biomarkers, Patrick L. Fitzgibbons, MD, has an important message: Don’t panic. “These are nothing new,” says Dr. Fitzgibbons, a pathologist at St. Jude Medical Center, Fullerton, Calif., and chair of the CAP Cancer Biomarker Reporting Committee. “We’re not adding anything. The templates will look very familiar to users of the CAP cancer protocols. They shouldn’t be considered a significant burden.”
September 2013—With the 2013 edition of the Laboratory Accreditation Program checklist, the College moves to a new level in its effort to ensure the highest-quality practices in clinical laboratories’ use of next-generation DNA sequencing.
April 2013—The paperless office may be just around the corner, and virtual reality may lie ahead too. But for the time being, when it comes to demonstrating that personnel have the required educational qualification to perform nonwaived point-of-care testing, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the CAP have a message for laboratory directors: Primary documents are king. For accreditation under CLIA, it’s not enough to know personnel are qualified because of their certificate or license; you have to prove it with copies of their transcripts and diplomas.
