Individualized Quality Control Plan (IQCP) Survey

In May 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the IQCP-A Step-By-Step Guide, which is available both in print and electronically at https://wwwn.cdc.gov/clia/Documents/IQCP Layout.pdf. This workbook provides a voluntary guide to assist laboratories in developing IQCP, which is an alternate quality control (QC) option under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations for most nonwaived testing. The IQCP option offers a laboratory the flexibility for meeting regulatory QC requirements appropriate for the testing performed, including existing and new test systems.

The CDC Division of Laboratory Systems (DLS) seeks to examine the utility of the IQCP workbook and its components in assisting laboratories with evaluating the quality of their current testing procedures and developing an IQCP that meets the CLIA requirements.

Please complete this brief 10 minute survey about your experience with the IQCP Workbook.
