CHS ensures consistent,
accurate and smooth operation of screenings by our thorough system
of checks and balances. Our staff has a broad range of experience
in all aspects of the health care industry. We maintain strict
standards for participant confidentiality, expediency and professionalism.
The CHS quality control procedures are extensive and include
several major components: field logistics, physician overview,
and in-house and corporate re-evaluations.
Field Logistics
Establishes the performance requirements for the logistical aspects
of industry-based health screening programs, and is managed at
both the local and the corporate levels. These include:
Qualifications of all participating
personnel
Corporate account set up and promotion
activities
Tracking the processing of all laboratory
samples using verifiable courier services
Timely delivery of all screening related
supplies
Verification and disposal of all biohazardous
wastes
Physician Overview
Involves having all results reviewed and analyzed by our own CHS
physicians. This overview is comprised of a sophisticated individual
report and group statistical analysis. If any abnormal variations
appear in the data, re-evaluations will be conducted.
CHS follows current guidelines for safe and proper specimen collection
based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control, The
National Committee for Laboratory Standards, OSHA, CAL-OSHA, and
the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Methods Manual
for Cholesterol Screening. These guidelines help ensure both the
integrity of specimens as well as the health and safety of persons
being screened and personnel performing the screening.
