Joe,
sounds like there is a little bit of paranoia going on, view the CLIA
inspection as a positive. “unless someone tipped them off” is a worry – is there
something to hide. PS I don’t know what CLIA stands for.

I guess this will teach me to have surgery and be out 3
weeks. I went to work today to let them know that my surgeon released for
work on next Monday. I was told CLIA is coming next month.
Here's my question. Has anyone heard of CLIA
performing an inspection two months after CAP just on a routine basis? My
CLIA experience is usually someone squealed on the lab because of a disgruntled
employee or to get someone in trouble.
I was told that our CLIA license is up this year
and that CLIA is trying to come in after CAP to inspect. Why? We didn't
receive any discrepancies on CAP, why would CLIA want to inspect unless someone
tipped them off.
I know this may be hard to believe, but some
people in town hate my guts and would love to see me squirm. Any one else
experience this scenario?
Thanks.
