AABB Accreditation Releases CMS Validation Survey Findings

AABB published a summary of findings from recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) validation surveys of AABB-accredited laboratories. These surveys are part of CMS’s oversight of approved accreditation organizations to ensure laboratories accredited by AABB meet or exceed CLIA requirements.

The report compares findings from state agency validation surveys with AABB’s own assessment results, offering insight into both individual laboratory performance and the overall effectiveness of AABB accreditation. The results inform ongoing efforts to align with federal standards and continuously improve AABB’s assessment processes.
