Why Credential Tracking Is Essential
Laboratory staff often require licenses, certifications, and credentials to perform testing. Lapses in credentials can create compliance risk and jeopardize accreditation and reimbursement.
Credentials to Track
- State professional licenses for laboratory personnel.
- National certifications (e.g., ASCP, AMT, AAB).
- Specialty board certifications for pathologists and directors.
- Advanced degrees and key training certificates.
Challenges in Credential Management
- Manual tracking in spreadsheets or local files.
- Difficulty monitoring multiple renewal timelines.
- Limited visibility for supervisors and compliance teams.
