C&C Clinical Laboratory Consulting is located in the Dallas, TX area. While the majority of our clients are in the DFW metroplex area, we have served laboratories throughout Texas with many in the Houston, Austin, and San Antonio area. A few other states we have served are Washington, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Both locally and for our long distance associations we use a combination of electronic and on-site methods to provide our services. Many of our local clients use our services as their ongoing Technical Consultant on record with CLIA or COLA. We provide monthly on-site visits to review the lab and provide QA reports based on those reviews. Some labs choose to send their records for review by fax or email and they are reviewed remotely, with only a quarterly or semi-annual onsite visit.
Writing policies and procedures can usually be performed remotely. Temporary services such as assisting with writing a Plan of Correction can often be performed remotely.
