Laboratory Information and Accreditation
Laboratory services are available at all Children's Clinic
offices. The tests most frequently ordered by our physicians, such as CBC,
urinalysis, or rapid strep test, are performed on-site. Most tests are performed
"stat", giving the physician information to aid in a timely diagnosis and
treatment of your child.
Quality laboratory testing is a priority for the physicians
of the Children's Clinic. To ensure this, registered medical technologists are employed as
laboratory personnel.
All of the laboratories meet the regulations mandated by
the government for laboratory testing. The Children's Clinic Laboratories are accredited
by COLA, a national healthcare accreditation organization. Accreditation is given
only to laboratories that apply rigid day-to-day operations, demonstrate continued
accuracy in proficiency testing, and pass a rigorous on-site survey.
The Children's Clinic has earned COLA accreditation
as a result of long-term commitment to provide quality services to our patients.
