AACC comments on Proposed New CLIA goals

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS

AACC comments to CMS on CLIA overhaul of PT goals. While quibbling here and there with some of the new proposed performance specifications, AACC has essentially provided  a stamp of approval for the new goals. Here's an example of their advice:

"AACC supports including five additional analytes: cyclosporine, everolimus, tacrolimus, sirolimus, and methotrexate. In addition, the association suggests removing five analytes from the list: ethosuximide, LDH isoenzymes, primidone, procainamide/NAPA, and quinidine."
