Why choose C&C Clinical Laboratory Consulting?
C&C Clinical Laboratory Consulting was started over 15 years ago by Carol Vaughn and Cathy Bohrer, two medical technologists with a passion for quality in the lab. We are not a large corporation who manage every aspect of lab or even every type of lab. We are two individuals who saw a need for laboratory guidance in the smaller POL, clinic, and non-traditional style laboratories who often do not employ certified lab personnel. These labs often do not realize their non-compliance to regulations until it is too late and they have failed an inspection. We can help labs either recover from these failed inspections, or set them up right before they ever face a first inspection.
Carol specializes in POL’s and clinics who have failed inspections and find themselves under Immediate Jeopardy with CLIA or under the STAT team with COLA. She enjoys taking labs from failure to full success on their repeat inspections. Carol is also part of the breaking field of bringing POC testing to the EMS field and working with their pre-hospital whole blood transfusion programs.
Cathy specializes in setting up Freestanding Emergency Rooms, Urgent Care Centers, and POLs that are wanting to add moderate complexity testing. There has been a growing demand in recent years, and unfortunately we have seen many set up for failure. Cathy enjoys setting a lab up correctly from the very beginning and is very hands-on with every detail.
Christina Wolf joined our group in 2016 and quickly became an invaluable member of our team. She is well versed in mock inspections, new lab set up, and lab remediations for all sizes and types of laboratories. Her attention to detail has been praised by labs she serves as well as diagnostic manufacturers, lab supply companies, and regulatory agencies.
