*The Standards Council of Canada 

(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 

Accreditation Program for Substance 

Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that 

program were accredited to conduct 

forensic urine drug testing as required 

by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the 

certification of those accredited 

Canadian laboratories will continue 

under DOT authority. The responsibility 

for conducting quarterly performance 

testing plus periodic on-site inspections 

of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories 

was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with 

the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance 

testing and laboratory inspection 

processes. Other Canadian laboratories 

wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP 

contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to 

be qualified, HHS will recommend that 

DOT certify the laboratory (Federal 

Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the 

minimum standards of the Mandatory 

Guidelines published in the Federal 

Register on April 30, 2010 (75 FR 

22809). After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be 

included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in 

the NLCP certification maintenance 

program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Community-based organizations 

(CBOs) are defined in the statute as 

community-based organizations that 

provide care transition services across a 

continuum of care through 

arrangements with subsection (d) 

hospitals (as defined in section 

1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act) 

and whose governing body includes 

sufficient representation of multiple 

health care stakeholders, including 

consumers. Experts in the field will 

present evidence-based care transition 

models, and lessons learned from 

participation in the Quality 

Improvement Organizations’ (QIOs) 9th 

scope of work care transitions subnational theme and related initiatives. 

Healthcare leaders will present broader, 

hospital-based interventions to reduce 

readmissions, as well as the positive 

financial implications of successfully 

reducing readmissions. This conference 

will also provide an overview of the 

Community-based Care Transitions 

Program (CCTP) and provide the 

opportunity for hospitals to connect 

with CBOs in their communities. Once 

a solicitation for the CCTP is published, 

proposals will be accepted on a rolling 

quarterly basis beginning in early 2011.
