Is there any type of escalation for uncorrected deficiencies?
Laboratories failing to correct concerns identified on any inspection report shall be subject to the progressive resolution process. Each identified concern shall be corrected prior to the corrective action date. For concerns not corrected, the following action shall take place: • Stage One of Non-Compliance: A letter identifying the concerns not corrected shall be sent to the Chair of the department with a copy sent to the Dean; • Stage Two of Non-Compliance: A letter identifying the concerns not corrected shall be sent to the Dean of the department with a copy sent to the Provost and Vice President for Administration/Chief Financial Officer; and • Stage Three of Non-Compliance: A letter identifying the concerns not corrected shall be sent to the Provost and Vice President for Administration/Chief Financial Officer.
