 Optimize Performance in a
Changing Environment
CAP 15189 is a voluntary, non-regulated accreditation to the ISO 15189:2007 Standard as published by the International Organization of Standardization. CAP 15189 requires a steadfast commitment to the laboratory management system and all interacting departments. CAP 15189 does not replace CAP’s CLIA-based Laboratory Accreditation Program, but rather complements CAP accreditation and other quality systems by optimizing processes to:
- Improve patient care
- Strengthen the deployment of quality standards
- Reduce errors and risk
- Control costs
Structure Sustainable Quality Operations
CAP 15189 is a key factor in driving efficiencies and performance as laboratories are challenged to do more with less, provide the highest quality of patient care and remain competitive. CAP 15189 promotes sustainable quality by looking beyond individual procedures and discovering ways to continuously improve the structure and function of your laboratory operations. As a management philosophy, CAP 15189 raises the bar on quality as it drives decisions throughout your entire institution.
Advance Excellence with CAP Expertise
The CAP offers the greatest breadth of knowledge and services in laboratory medicine as well as the support of more than 17,000 member pathologists. When working in harmony with the CAP’s globally-respected laboratory accreditation program, CAP 15189 accreditation demonstrates your advanced commitment to building patient, public and clinician trust through competent performance.
