CLIA Certificate Management

Does anyone have the added responsibility of maintaining CLIA certificates for their entire health system?

I have been in my current role for about six months, and am one of two point of care coordinators for a 4 hospital, 20+ clinic system that is growing rapidly. I have recently been handed responsibility for managing all of the CLIA certificates for the entire system--hospitals and clinics. The person who previously performed this function worked on the billing side of the labo...

Medtronic ACT Plus and Gem Hemochron 100?

Is anyone operating both the Medtronic ACT Plus and Gem Hemochron 100 in the same facility? I would really like to keep my life less complicated, but I can't seem to get approval for replacement for all 10 of our Medtronic ACT Plus devices.

Am I crazy?
