Why would the passage of CLIA matter to the patient? How might CLIA affect the medical office? Do you believe CLIA rules make the laboratory tests more standardized? If so, in what way?

What will be an ideal response?

Patients may be affected by unsafe practices or poor quality in any laboratory setting. The medical office may have problems with quality or patient satisfaction if the laboratory is not performing as needed. CLIA rules make laboratory tests more standardized by outlining expectations for any laboratory.
