Austin State Hospital Laboratory Celebrates 55 Years of Continuous CAP Accreditation

The laboratorians at Austin State Hospital Regional Laboratory know quality. Since 1963, the laboratory has maintained continuous CAP accreditation to help ensure a rigorous and leading-edge commitment to their patients’ care.

This was never more apparent, for example, when the hospital successfully diagnosed and treated a patient with a rare parasitic roundworm—something they were prepared and able to do, in part, because of their participation in CAP proficiency testing. After 55 years of accreditation, the experts at Austin State approach every diagnosis with quality and accuracy top of mind.
