     The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Jones Regional Medical Center (JRMC) lab services, based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs.

     The facility’s director, David M. Larson, MD, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. JRMC lab services is one of more than 7,700 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.

     “This CAP accreditation validates the service we proudly provide for the Jones County community, timely and of the highest quality,” stated Kristi Paterson, JRMC lab manager.

     The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to and more-stringent-than the government’s own inspection program.

     During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control or procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
