CAP noted that the program helps labs comply with regulations from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which has an oversight role through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988. Accreditation includes onsite checks by laboratory peer inspectors every two years and compliance with quality and procedural checklists that are regularly updated. Through CAP accreditation, labs may also show that they are keeping up to date with new technologies in the pathology field, such as information technology, artificial intelligence, and liquid biopsies.
