Virtual CAP Inspections: Two Laboratories' Shared Perspectives

Description

The pandemic has forced all of us to change and make modifications. The CAP’s inspection process is no exception. To ensure the safety of our inspectors and laboratory staff while working around evolving travel restrictions, the CAP introduced both a hybrid and virtual inspection model. Even amidst change, approaching the inspection process with a growth mindset makes it possible to have the thorough, educational, and collaborative inspection that you’ve come to expect from the CAP.

Join us for this webinar to hear the shared perspectives from two CAP-accredited laboratories who have both been an inspector and inspectee using the new models. You will hear first-hand about their inspection planning, the inspection process, challenges they faced, and lessons learned. CAP staff will introduce new CAP tools to streamline the planning and inspection process for hybrid and virtual inspections and facilitate a Q&A.
