South Texas Health System Laboratories Receive Accreditation by the College of American Pathologists |
Date : - 17/06/2009 |
The laboratories at McAllen Heart Hospital and McAllen Medical Center were accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) after site inspections on April 1 and May 1.
Both laboratories received complimentary remarks by CAP inspectors on the quality of patient testing, documentation and organization. The laboratories also received exemplary marks on their standard of laboratory practices.
The Edinburg Regional Medical Center laboratory had previously received CAP accreditation with high marks on their standard of patient care. Blood gas laboratories at all three South Texas Health System hospitals have also received CAP accreditation with no deficiencies.
Accredited laboratories are reviewed by inspectors from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) or by a voluntary peer group accredited by the CAP and approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The goal of the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is to improve the quality of clinical laboratory services through the volunteer participation, professional peer review, education and compliance with established performance standards. All laboratories awarded CAP accreditation become part of an exclusive group of more than 6,000 laboratories worldwide that have met the highest standards of excellence.
