The Compliance Challenge

Navigating the
Regulatory Maze

Clinical laboratory directors and managers face intense regulatory and compliance pressures daily. Many of these challenges stem from federal regulations governing Medicare program participation, CLIA testing and personnel requirements. To date, this audience has had few places to access complete, professional-grade information, best practices, or connect with colleagues facing the same challenges. The CLCA is changing that.
