Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 29 MAS 701 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Three Agencies, Three Kinds of Rules
Captions available
The idea
Three federal programs shape daily compliance in a medical office: workplace safety, laboratory testing and controlled substances.
In practice
Workplace safety rules protect staff; laboratory rules govern testing on human specimens; drug enforcement rules govern controlled substances.
Where people slip
State rules often add to federal ones, so the practice's policies reflect both.
