CLIA stands for Clinical Laboratory Accreditation Program and it is a certification program for clinical laboratories in the United States. CLIA certification is awarded by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), a professional organization for pathologists and laboratory professionals.
A CLIA -certified laboratory has undergone a comprehensive on-site inspection and review of its policies, procedures, and quality control measures to ensure that it meets or exceeds the highest standards for clinical laboratory testing. This includes assessment of personnel, equipment, safety, and overall laboratory practices. The certification demonstrates the laboratory’s commitment to providing accurate and reliable test results to support patient care and treatment decisions.
Having a CLIA -certified laboratory means that patients can have confidence in the quality of their test results, and healthcare providers can trust that the laboratory is using best practices to produce accurate results.
