Saratoga Hospital’s laboratory services–including
the labs at the hospital, Wilton Medical
Arts and Malta Med Emergent Care–earned
accreditation by the College of American Pathologists
(CAP). The hospital has maintained CAP accreditation
since 1995.
More than 7,600 facilities worldwide are CAP
accredited. As such, they must comply with standards
that meet or exceed those set by the U.S.
government.
CAP re-accreditation is awarded every two
years following a rigorous site inspection that
includes a thorough examination of lab records
and quality control procedures. The accreditation
team also reviews laboratory staff qualifications,
inspects equipment and facilities, examines the
lab safety program and record, and assesses overall
management.
