Evangelical Community Hospital Laboratories Earn Reaccreditation

Lewisburg - The laboratories associated with Evangelical Community Hospital recently underwent an inspection by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), an event that occurs every two years.

While on-site, the CAP inspection team reviewed the blood gas, clinical, and anatomic laboratories associated with the Hospital and Cardiopulmonary Services as well as the oncology laboratory at 75 Medical Park, Lewisburg. All reviewed laboratories passed inspection, earning them reaccreditation until 2026.

The CAP reaccreditation assures patients, providers, and other healthcare workers in the facility that Evangelical is in fact producing high-quality results.

During the inspection, inspectors scrutinized all aspects of testing. The standards examined relate to quality, instrumentation, documentation, best practices in laboratory medicine, patient reporting, safety, and overall management. The surveyors also look closely at policy and procedure and staff qualifications. They also examined policies and procedures to ensure the Hospital is in keeping with and following national standards and those set by the organization.
