R1R2 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi all, Our respiratory department, that performs non waived testing, was cited by the state for not having the technical consultant assess competency. A respiratory therapist with an associate’s degree assessed competency. I have thought about modifying the lab director delegation form to include the respiratory therapist, however the respiratory therapist does not have the required educational background required by CLIA. I know our department is not the only one in this boat and was wondering how others have solved this problem. Thanks in advance, CAROL N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbostock Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yes, we had to upgrade our POC Coordinator position to a POC Supervisor position with a bachelor's requirement to cover this because we do moderately complex POC tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amym1586 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Our respiratory department is currently running some tests for our cath lab because they kept failing their surveys. ( I'm the technical consultant for cath lab) I don't know who watches over respiratory for that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
