AM25-MN-23-L - The Top Nonconformances Stratified by Facility Size and Location. Where Do You Fit?

Monday, October 27, 2025
3:45 PM - 4:45 PM  PT
Room: SDCC 29
Assessor Sessions
AABB will present the most common nonconformances and stratify them based on facility size/type and location. AABB Standards along with descriptions from assessment summary reports with documented nonconformances and objective evidence will be highlighted. The speakers will then expand the discussion on tools used to prevent future nonconformances, including a complete and thorough corrective and preventive action plan. Finally, the AABB Staff will discuss AABB resources for continuous process improvement.

The AABB Accreditation Staff will utilize quality tools available on the AABB website: https://www.aabb.org/standards-accreditation/quality, Regulatory Toolkits, Commendable Practices, the CLIA Corner, and other identified tools for process improvement.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the most common themes of AABB nonconformances.
  • Describe the quality tools available on the AABB website and how they are best applied in a systematic approach to minimize and mitigate any identified nonconformances.
  • Understand how your facility fits into the stratified data.
  • Explain the importance of a complete and thorough CAPA in response to a nonconformance.
