Event Description

Each year 14 billion laboratory tests drive the majority of medical decisions. Many of these tests do not require routine regulatory oversight under a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Certificate of Waiver from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The “Ready? Set? Test!” free resources equip testing personnel with the basic training they need to perform waived patient testing safely and accurately and ensure reliable, high-quality test results. This event will highlight the “Ready? Set? Test!” resources and waived testing best practices for professionals and volunteers who perform or coordinate waived testing at non-traditional sites or settings (e.g., nursing homes, clinics, and jails).
