AVMC lab receives accreditation The laboratory at Ashley Valley Medical Center was awarded a two-year two-year accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologist (CAP), based on results of an on-site inspection. The laboratory's manager, Linda Clayton, was advised of the national recognition and congratulated for the "excellence of the services being provided." The laboratory at AVMC is one of the more than 4,200 CAP-accredited CAP-accredited laboratories nationwide. "The accreditation is important to local residents because it means the lab work qualifies for Medicare payments," Clayton said. The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government's gov-ernment's own inspection program. Inspectors examine the records and quality control of the laboratory for the preceding two years, as well as the education and qualifications of the total staff, the adequacy of the facilities, the equipment, laboratory labora-tory safety and laboratory management manage-ment to determine how well the laboratory lab-oratory is serving the patient. ilr jtisfkt. ill Even More Big Portraits!
