35 Years After CLIA 1988
2024
Abstract
The
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations of 1988 required
certification of some clinical laboratory professionals but not of others. Analyzing
survey data 35 years later, we explore how laboratory professionals today are inadvertently
affected by those regulations, specifically their sense of professional identity
and their perceptions of justice—and the consequences of those on their turnover
intentions. Turnover is a major concern among laboratory professionals. Survey results
show that even 35 years after the unintended disenfranchisement caused by CLIA,
clinical laboratory professionals whose specialty was included in CLIA have a
stronger sense of being an ingroup, expressed as positive professional identity,
and had a higher assessment of there being procedural and distributive justice
than those excluded in CLIA. Turnover intentions, however, were primarily a
matter of negative professional identity and reduced distributive justice.
