Recognized for rigorous and robust standards, CAP accreditation elevates quality and mitigates risk, an important way that laboratories can contribute to improved patient outcomes.
"We are proud that the College of American Pathologists has recognized our quality through this accreditation, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of excellence in laboratory testing," said Dan Milner, MD, Imagene's Laboratory Medical Director. "As a laboratory that provides AI-driven tests, this accreditation not only validates our innovative approach but also assures its reliability and accuracy.
