We will be holding a luncheon seminar on CAP certification and guidelines at the International Society for Fertility Preservation Congress (ISFP 2024 Tokyo).
July 2024—Earlier this year the laboratory at King Salman Armed Forces Hospital joined more than 120 other Saudi labs in achieving CAP accreditation. And it did so with a boost from LEAP. The 665-bed hospital needed to adopt standards for nearly all technical specialties and comply with more than 1,000 CAP requirements. And laboratory director Maj. Sultan Al-Hawatti made it clear at the outset that he had no interest in gaining CAP accreditation merely to create a paper tiger. Therefore, the laboratory reached out to Raafat Elshimy, MT, health care solutions and quality manager at Siemens Healthineers. King Salman hospital is a Siemens customer, and laboratory management knew that the vendor had entered a partnership for LEAP (Laboratory Education and Accreditation Program) software with the College of American Pathologists and the Japanese company CGI.
CGI sponsored athlete Enrico Gallus places 29th in the 15th annual Tateyama Wakashio Triathlon held in Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture Japan. Battling both injuries and illness leading up to the competition itself, Enrico was able to finish 29th in a pool of over 600 athletes from around the world!
This race was to serve as a springboard for another popular event held in Nagano in late June, the Suwako 8 Peaks Triathlon.
