[Histonet] RE: HT certification

[Casey Arnold]

It is not a CAP requirement unless it is required by your state. (I only know because we just had our CAP inspection). Check your state regulations, but the only states I know of off the top of my head that require certification are FL and NY. That being said, your certification is a good thing to have either way. I have access to some great study material if you are interested.

Hi Histonetters!

 

I am being asked to assist in CLIA inspection preparation for a brand new molecular lab.  I have done many CAP inspections and love their checklists, but have never done one specific for CLIA before.  Does CLIA offer similar checklists that we can work from?  I have done some research on the net, but it can get so convoluted and confusing, I was hoping you might be able to help me navigate some of the waters.

 

Thanks, in advance,

Michelle

I was told by my lab supervisor that it was against the law for me to work in the lab and not have my HT certification. I'm pretty sure this is not true (I work in OH in a hospital lab). I'm look for documentation so I can show her this is not true.   Also wondering if the state does not require certification maybe it is a requirement for CAP certification of the lab.
