NEW YORK, NY – June 26, 2014 – Provista Diagnostics, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company delivering precision medicine to the medical community to fundamentally change the detection and management of women's cancers, today announced that its CLIA-certified laboratory in Scottsdale, AZ has received accreditation from the College of American
Pathologists (CAP). Accreditation was awarded following a recent on-site inspection and is designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients.
"Provista is committed to excellence in all that we do, and receiving CAP accreditation for our laboratory is a hallmark of how we are building our organization," said David Reese, Ph.D.,
President and CEO. "For development of our own proprietary diagnostics, as well as our work developing companion diagnostics for other companies, CAP accreditation signifies additional assurance that our lab operates under the highest quality standards to generate highly accurate and reliable results."
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is the world's largest association composed exclusively of board-certified pathologists and is regarded as a leader in laboratory quality assurance. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory's quality and analytical procedures and processes governing patient sample testing and test reports for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program as being equal to, or more stringent than, the government's own inspection program.
"Within the molecular diagnostics community, it is widely recognized that CAP accreditation is a difficult certification to achieve. This distinction reflects high quality standards for our lab and a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our team." said Sherri Borman, Ph.D., HCLD, Vice
President of Laboratory Operations and Laboratory Director.
