The Details of Subscribe to the DPH Clinical Laboratory Listserv
What you need for Subscribe to the DPH Clinical Laboratory Listserv
In an effort to streamline communication between the Department of Public Health (DPH) and Massachusetts-licensed clinical laboratories, the Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality uses an electronic listserv as the primary method to transmit circular letters and other significant or time sensitive notifications.
Each laboratory must subscribe to the listserv and choose 2 individuals to receive communications:
- The clinical laboratory administrator
- A backup clinical manager
Once you subscribe, your email will automatically be added to the distribution list. All communication from the clinical laboratory listserv will be sent from donotreply@state.ma.us.
Circular letters will also continue to be posted online at Clinical Laboratory Program laws and regulations.
