Description
The blood bank industry is regulated by many agencies, and it can be a challenge to understand the regulations as well as what specifically regulates the operations of the blood center and transfusion service. In this session, the CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) regulations that impact the blood industry will be reviewed. Discussion will include the testing regulated by CLIA and the personnel requirements to perform these tests in the blood center or transfusion service. Current hot topics and the regulations will also be addressed.

- Provide a brief overview of the CLIA regulating agency, its purpose and intent.
- Review current hot topics and the CLIA regulations that apply.
