CAC Joins Other Organizations to Respond to California Draft Regulations. . .
The CAC has joined with other notable organizations like the ASCP, ASCT, ASC, The California Society of Pathologists, and both the National and California Society's for Histotechnology to offer input regarding proposed rule changes to a number of laboratory personnel regulations offered by Laboratory Field Services.
Among the comments to the proposed rule, these organizations suggest that the scope of practice of cytotechnologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians allow these individuals to perform molecular testing.
Speak for the future of Cytotechnology. Get involved!
CDC seeks input on cytology workload assessment. Your laboratory will likely be contacted by the end of the year for more information.
1. Is the collection of this information necessary, and does it have practical utility;
2. What is the burden on laboratories collecting this information;
3. How to clarify and enhance the information collected; and
4. How to minimize the burden of collecting information by using automated collection and information technology.
The 60-day FRN for Cytology Workload Assessment and Measure:
Federal Register Volume 78, Number 60 (Thursday, March 28, 2013). It can be accessed at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-03-28/html/2013-07233.htm
