From the Director
Dr. Stephen B. Hooser |
| With
the rains, springtime has returned to Indiana and, in the seasonal spirit of
renewal, we will welcome the accreditation team from the American Association
of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians for a site visit that will be part of
our application to renew the accreditation of the ADDL. Every five years, the
AAVLD re-evaluates all state veterinary diagnostic laboratories as part of its
accreditation process. An important part of our preparation is the Laboratory
Quality System that was instituted under the leadership of Dr. Thacker. This
Quality System helps guide the laboratory in its quest for continual
improvement in its services to Indiana. Another source to guide the laboratory
will be the development of a five year Strategic Plan. We intend to develop
this plan, in part, with input from clients of the ADDL from across the state.
So, within the next few months, we will begin asking for your input on this
plan. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any suggestions. In
these difficult economic times, we can't always guarantee that we will be able
to honor your requests, but we will always listen for ways to improve upon our
mission to aid in the prevention, control, and eradication of animal diseases
for the state of Indiana, to provide prompt and accurate diagnostic services,
and to add to the wealth of the state by working with local, state, federal,
and international partners to meet current and future needs. |
