We help clinical laboratories provide the best patient care by ensuring that you not only meet federal CLIA and state requirements, but also benefit from our educational services.
Each step in the accreditation process is an opportunity to gather the information you need to continuously improve quality in your laboratory. Along the way, we provide tools that will help you document and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
COLA operates its accreditation program in accordance with a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015. You can always count on COLA to provide a consistent survey experience every two years and across multiple laboratories in a system.
