La Jolla IVF – San Diego Fertility Center and Fertility Specialists
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2012
La Jolla IVF, a San Diego fertility center, was recently awarded with accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP)—a certification that is equal to or more stringent than the government’s own standards.
Laboratory Director Barry R. Behr, PhD, HCLD was informed of this national recognition and congratulated for the clinic’s continued excellence.
“It’s an honor to receive CAP certification,” commented Behr. “We see this as the gold standard for IVF labs. We really work hard to maintain our high-quality standards, success rates, and continued contribution to reproductive research,” he added.
During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors carefully examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. Inspectors also evaluate staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety programs and records, and overall management. The accreditation program began in the 60s and is recognized by the federal government for stringent adherence to the highest standards.
CAP certification enables La Jolla IVF to make pregnancy rates available to the public via national statistics registers. This is an important statistic for potential patients who are in the process of choosing a fertility center. By sharing success rates, La Jolla IVF will be able to extend their reach, thereby providing high-quality services and the gift of parenthood to even more patients.
