1 LD1 Introduction to Laboratory Medicine and Regulations Verlin Janzen, MD, FAAFP Family Physician & Laboratory Director Hutchinson Clinic, Hutchinson, KS Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Kansas School of Medicine, Wichita, KS DESCRIPTION: This opening session for the lab director qualification track is designed for physicians, and will provide the novice laboratory director with an orientation to the medical laboratory. This is your starting point as you seek to qualify as a laboratory director of a moderate complexity lab. Dr. Janzen will discuss the language of the laboratory, acronyms, and terms used in office laboratories today. In addition, he will give an overview of the CLIA law and regulations that will allow the attendee to assimilate the subsequent session material into a coherent body of knowledge. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the session, participants will be able to: Demonstrate a general understanding of what the CLIA regulations entail, and how they affect the POL Differentiate between CLIA and COLA Understand some common laboratory lingo Plan for the upcoming courses in the lab director education qualification track, and summarize the importance of each topic in becoming a competent laboratory director CRI and COLA do not endorse, directly or indirectly, the presentations given at this conference or the products or services provided by the exhibiting vendors. Presentations are intended to be free of bias. The use of any particular product is for demonstration purposes only, and does not imply an endorsement of the product by the presenter or the sponsors of the symposium CRI

4 Laboratory means a facility for the biological, microbiological, serological, chemical, immunohematological, hematological, biophysical, cytological, pathological, or other examination of materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, human beings. Facilities only collecting or preparing specimens (or both) or only serving as a mailing service and not performing testing are not considered laboratories. Laboratories testing for forensic purposes only Sites that test for research only and results not used for diagnosis, treatment or prognosis Laboratories in New York State and Washington These states enforce their own laboratory regulations Some states have requirements beyond CLIA
