Laboratory Quality Management Solutions
Cover All Aspects of Laboratory Quality
CLIA, state regulating agencies, and other accrediting bodies have quality standards to which all labs must adhere. The Laboratory Quality Management Service (QMS) from Lighthouse Lab Services will keep you in compliance and your lab ready for inspection at any time.
Here’s How We Help:
Ensuring the overall quality of your laboratory is a stressful and never-ending task every lab must sustain. With a Laboratory Quality Management System in place, you can make that task a lot easier on yourself and your employees. Since maintaining the quality of your lab’s processes provides accurate results to your patients and is a requirement for keeping your licensure, ensuring that your laboratory QMS is up to date is important. That’s where we come in.
Our Quality Management Services (QMS) aid your lab in meeting licensure requirements. From your first application to CLIA through the life of your lab, our Lab Quality Management Services have you covered. Contact us to learn more.
