[Histonet] CLIA requirements

[Amber McKenzie]

Do you make it a requirement to work in the lab that everyone provide proof of education b/c it's not a company policy where I work.  Plus, does CLIA state in their website about what they require in the personnel files?  Is it just employee start date, highest level of education, evals and proficiency testing?

We keep all of ours in the lab. Much easier than having HR search their files for the documentation.

About the personnel files, do you keep these in the lab on each employee plus what HR has or do you just call HR when CLIA arrives and let HR handle all the personnel questions?

We  ask out techs to bring in their transcripts, certifications ETC.. (they don't mind) and put a copy with their job descriptions so we have documentation when going thru inspections.

Hi Amber,

Try contacting HR and the Compliance Officer (which may be your lab
manager) as to how this requirement is handled.  Institutions vary on this,
but most times all employee files had to be with HR.  Education, CEU's,
certifications, licenses and transcripts, along with evaluations or
disiplinary actions were all based there and nothing was to be taken out or
copied.  I've been at a few places recently where accessing of staff files
was possible through the intranet - but only certain levels of supervision
were able to actually access a part or all of them.

Hope that this helps some.

Vikki
