Description:
Next generation sequencing lab developed tests have exceeded the oversight scope of CLIA and CAP. Pricing pressure, belated standard setting, clinician expectation & evolving test populations have led to a largely unrecognized inaccuracy crisis in clinical genetics and genomics. This webinar presents areas many labs struggle with that are part of the Center for Genomic Interpretation’s ELEVATEGeneticsTM quality audit process that is beginning to be used by health insurance payers.
Learning Objectives:
- Better assess the appropriateness of gene selection on panels.
- Better assess a lab’s NGS Bioinformatics variant calling process.
- Better assess a lab’s Variant Classification accuracy.
