oversight of entities that do not have any
regulatory standards or surveys currently.

the numbers and types of waived tests, the
extent of the growth in laboratories that only
perform waived testing over time, and better

of the total population of U.S. laboratories in
each type of CLIA certificate category and how
their performance compares to that of the waived
laboratories.
-
