This is true both when a lab is initially applying for a CLIA license and also once the initial license is granted.There are a number of personnel requirements, training requirements and accompanying documentation, quality control and method documents that need to be tracked and updated on an ongoing basis as tests change. Personnel changes and ongoing training and development must be tracked as well. Most laboratories are ill-equipped to understand ALL of the specific requirements required for successful CLIA compliance. In addition, most do not have a formal structure to list the requirements and document their management methods. Without some form of electronic documentation format, most labs struggle to keep track of the multiple elements that must be managed to keep the lab well-organized and CLIA compliant. As a result, labs frequently experience deficiency notifications during routine inspection which cause concern and shift priorities to develop and implement policies and procedures required to ensure compliance.
