Abstract

CONTEXT.—: The College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation requirements for clinical laboratory testing help ensure laboratories implement and maintain systems and processes that are associated with quality. Machine learning (ML)-based models share some features of conventional laboratory testing methods. Accreditation requirements that specifically address clinical laboratories' use of ML remain in the early stages of development.
