Lab groups: Bring back CLIAC

The CAP, the Association of Public Health Laboratories, and other leading organizations are urging HHS to reinstate the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Advisory Committee (CLIAC). 

Where it stands: CLIAC was dissolved as part of a broader restructuring by HHS that eliminated several federal advisory committees.

What they're saying: In a letter signed on June 30 by 27 organizations representing clinical and public health laboratories, the groups call on HHS to reinstate CLIAC and hold a meeting in November. 

  • CLIAC offers expert recommendations to federal agencies on lab regulations.
  • Without it, lab regulations risk becoming outdated and disconnected with current laboratory practice.
  • Eliminating CLIAC could weaken the health care system and compromise quality of testing.
