eCLEP available for year-round notification of changes in laboratory operations
(Posted 5/13/13)
Beginning immediately after all the laboratory's permit reapplication material has been reviewed and accepted by the Program, our web-based clinical laboratory information management tool, eCLEP, will be available year-round to accept changes to laboratory information electronically. This will be the preferred method of reporting such changes as indicated below. Current features of eCLEP will allow staff to: make changes to laboratory information such as contact information and hours of operation; make changes to laboratory owner information such as contact information; make changes to management contract information; make changes to laboratory directors and assistant directors, their assigned permit categories of responsibility and their on-site hours; add tests to the laboratory's test menu; add or delete permit categories; and make changes to point-of-care testing location information for laboratories located in New York State.
Please note that after changes have been submitted (by clicking the submit button) the laboratory must print the summary page, the laboratory director must sign the attestation, and the laboratory must email or fax the signed summary to CLEP as indicated of the summary. While submitted changes are pending review by the Program, no additional changes can be made in eCLEP. If you must make changes during the review period, please complete and submit changes via the traditional paper-based method using forms available on our website under Applications and Forms (links found on right side of page), Changes to Laboratory Operations.
Access to eCLEP is provided through the Health Commerce System (HCS). You can access eCLEP from the HCS home page by finding "eCLEP" under 'My Applications' in the blue field on the left side of the page. Laboratory directors and assistant directors with active HCS accounts are granted data entry and data submission privileges for eCLEP without further action by the laboratory. Additional personnel may be designated to submit changes by the laboratory director; this individual(s) is known as a Designated Submitter. If your laboratory has already submitted a Delegated Submitter form for the eCLEP, it is not necessary to send a duplicate.
