CARSON CITY, MI – The Sparrow Carson Hospital Laboratory has received an important national recognition from the Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), denoting the excellence of the hospital’s lab services.
Sparrow Carson Hospital Laboratory is one of more than 8,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide. “The Laboratory team at Sparrow Carson is dedicated to quality and efficiency. We ensure that testing is completed per protocol and timely so our medical staff can provide high quality healthcare to patients,” said Lori Grant, Sparrow Carson Director of Ancillary Services.
The federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent than the government’s own inspection program.
During the CAP accreditation process, designated to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
