Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation
College of American Pathologists
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments
As a leading physician-directed accrediting organization and the first to obtain federal approval under CLIA, they accredit laboratories of all types, sizes and complexities. For over thirty years, they have refined their unique educationally-focused accreditation experience. Promoting health and safety is their mission. Guiding professionals to achieve their vision for laboratory excellence is their passion.
The CAP accredits laboratories performing testing on specimens from human beings or animals, using methodologies and clinical application within the expertise of the program. Laboratories must be appropriately licensed to perform testing when required by law.
The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulate laboratory testing and require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can accept human samples for diagnostic testing.
