Description:Our Mission: To strengthen the nation’s clinical and public health laboratory system by continually improving quality and safety, informatics and data science, and workforce competency
Our Work
• Quality and safety. Improve the quality and safety of public health and clinical laboratory science and practice.
• Informatics and data science. Strengthen interoperability and the application of laboratory data and information systems.
• Training and workforce development. Enhance the competency and sustainability of the public health and clinical laboratory workforces.
• Biorepository science. Promote excellence in biorepository science to advance population health, patient care, and research.
Our Services
• Execute federal responsibilities for managing the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) program in partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and FDA.
• Develop and evaluate standards, guidelines, and recommendations to improve laboratory quality and safety across the nation.
• Support the advancement of health IT standards— such as harmonizing laboratory testing codes (e.g., LOINC, SNOMED CT)—to enable meaningful comparison of results worldwide.
• Implement informatics and data science approaches to evaluate laboratory practices and improve access to and analysis of laboratory information that supports clinical and public health outcomes.
• Provide reliable biorepository services to CDC scientists and collaborators to manage valuable specimen collections and reference materials.
• Develop, deliver, and evaluate laboratory quality, safety, and informatics training and resources to enhance laboratory workforce competencies.
• Improve the effectiveness and sustainability of state and local public health laboratories by developing shared systems, fostering regional and national coordination of systems, and supporting collective improvement of testing services.
