By Dr. Sharon S. Ehrmeyer, Ph.D.

In 9 concise chapters, Dr. Sharon S. Ehrmeyer, Ph.D., describes a common-sense path to compliance:

  •  An overview of regulations from CLIA, CAP, TJC, and COLA
  •  Proficiency Testing
  •  Procedure Manuals
  •  Method Verification, Calibration and Calibration Verification
  •  Quality Control for the small laboratory
  •  Quality Assurance
  •  Personnel Competency Requirements
  •  Inspection Tips, Tools for Self-preparedness
  •  Point-of-Care testing requirements, EQC and the future

For decades, Dr. Ehrmeyer has been guiding laboratories in their compliance efforts. She speaks frequently on CLIA, CAP, The Joint Commission, and COLA. Her down-to-earth advice has made her a favorite at conferences around the world. Now all of her recommendations (and more) are available in this reference manual.

 More than 250 years ago, Founding Father Benjamin Franklin published "Poor's Richard's Almanack," a compilation of practical tips and words to the wise. His bestselling book spoke to the growing spirit of self-reliance and independence in America. Continuing in this tradition, the Poor Lab's Guide is an essential collection of pragmatic wisdom for the American laboratory.
