CMS Updates Four CLIA Brochures

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently revised and published four Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) brochures on the CLIA website. The following brochures are available to view or download:

• CLIA Certification.
• Laboratory Complaints.
• Assessing Personnel Competency.
• Laboratory Director Responsibilities.

As a CMS-approved accrediting organization, AABB is a committed partner of CMS in providing oversight for quality laboratory operations that support patient and donor safety under CLIA. This partnership includes any new updates from this agency that can impact accurate and reliable test results.

AABB encourages members to review and share these updated resources to ensure their teams have access to the latest CLIA information.
