Webinar
Summary:
-
This presentation will include current CLIA
laboratory enrollment data with a focus on
laboratories that only perform waived
testing.
-
It will demonstrate how the growth of waived
facilities has exploded over time, why and
what types of issues CMS is finding when
conducting its educational visits to these
laboratories.
-
It will also cover the number and types of
waived tests under CLIA and what CMS’ plans
for the future may be with regard to
oversight of entities that do not have any
regulatory standards or surveys currently.
-
And there will be plenty of opportunity for
dialogue and questions.
After completing this webinar, attendees will be
able to:
-
Have an overview of the numbers and types of
waived tests, the extent of the growth in
laboratories that only perform waived
testing over time, and better insight into
why that huge growth occurred
-
Know the proportions of the total population
of U.S. laboratories in each type of CLIA
certificate category and how their
performance compares to that of the waived
laboratories.
-
Understand CMS’ position on POCT, the
problems identified in waived laboratories
through the CMS Certificate of Waiver
Project, and CMS’ plans to address the
exponential growth in laboratories with no
routine oversight.
