Could this be parasitic?

[Janice]

Just curious, how do you know it is the zoonotic dept? Is there some thing I can read.

[Janice]

My understanding of zoononics is that it is still parasites just different vectors, like animals. Is that correct

I did some researching about Great Plains Laboratory and discovered that this lab is not an accredited lab. This, for me, is a red flag. Metametrix Clinical Lab however does seem to be accredited.[/quote]

Interesting as when I looked them up the other day they were not listed, but then I was on another search site than the one run by CLIA. As far as I know there are some additional hoops that labs can go through to do more than get a certificate meeting minimum standards set by the CLIA.

List of Approved Accreditation Organizations Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments

1. aabb

2. American Osteopathic Association

3. American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenics

4. College of Pathologists (CAP)

5. COLA

6. Joint Commission

Labs do not have to belong to any of these above laboratory accrediting organizations. However those who do get accreditation from an organization like CAP will go through additional lab inspections, both announced and unannounced.

Below the requirements for CLIA are described. Next the CAP is explained. The Great Plains laboratory is not accredited by CAP, but does participate in surveys done by them.

Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA)

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, resulted from a Congressional examination of lab practices, including investigation of testing performed in Physicians Office Laboratories (POLs). CLIA sets standards designed to improve quality in all laboratory testing and includes specifications for quality control, quality assurance, patient test management, personnel and proficiency testing.

CLIA regulations set minimum standards for laboratory practice and quality. When a laboratory satisfies CLIA regulatory requirements, you can have greater confidence in the quality and reliability of laboratory results.


College of American Pathologists (CAP)

The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is granted deemed authority for all laboratory specialties and subspecialties defined by CLIA and awarded by The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS; formally known as Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA). The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is also recognized by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as an equivalent program in JCAHO-accredited institutions.

When an institution chooses to be CAP-accredited, you can be assured that its laboratory will not only meet federal regulations, but will exceed them. Participation in the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program demonstrates to patients, clinicians, and payors a continuum of high-quality testing in the clinical laboratory. No other accrediting agency inspects infertility labs as a sub-specialty.

The laboratory is the most complex ancillary service. CAP inspections are performed in this complex environment by experienced, knowledgeable professionals who are in tune with emerging technologies, new procedures, and patient issues.

Dedicated laboratory physicians are the foundation and leadership of the College of American Pathologists. Their adherence to the most stringent requirements in laboratory accreditation ensures accountability for quality laboratory results and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

Accurate and reliable laboratory results can significantly contribute to improved patient outcomes. Investment in the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program returns its value by ensuring the processes are in place that improve laboratory practices, thus generating higher quality test results, fewer complications, and more satisfied patients.

And what do you think you are doing? You keep repeating and repeating the same old message. At least this time you left out the guilt trip, but the same old preacher is here again. I think you are turning off people to your message. Keep it up and no one will go.
