[Histonet] CLIA requirements

[Kim Donadio]

I've always kept an additional copy for my own files when inspections occur 

Not every place allows this btw

But transcripts of education copies of state license is always handy in a inspection so I do. Under lock and key. Because personnel files should be private.
