than sending the specimens out to an off-campus laboratory. This new service
provides greater efficiency and timeliness for treating patients, and
minimizes the out-of- pocket expenses for the student at the time of
service. By performing these tests in the health center, the health center
has been licensed to be a CLIA - moderately complex lab, rather than a CLIA-waived
laboratory. |
