Maintaining laboratory compliance is crucial to ensure accurate test results, patient safety, and adherence to regulatory standards such as CLIA. Two of the top deficiencies identified by CMS surveys in 2023 are personnel competency assessment policies (D5209) and the evaluation of proficiency testing performance (D5217). Maintaining compliance with CLIA standards helps laboratories avoid citations, ensures operational reliability, and promotes trust with inspectors and healthcare providers. These processes not only safeguard patient health but also reduce the likelihood of costly re-tests and delays in diagnoses.
