The primary purpose of CLIA and the Regulations is to strengthen federal oversight of clinical laboratories to ensure that test results are accurate and reliable. The new law and the Regulations create a national unified certification and enforcement system that affects virtually every laboratory in the country. Thus, all laboratories and health care providers with laboratory components that may be affected should carefully review the Regulations and prepare to comply with them well in advance of their September 1, 1992 implementation date.
《临床实验室改进修正案》（CLIA）及相关法规的主要目的是加强联邦政府对临床实验室的监管，以确保检测结果准确可靠。新法律和法规建立了一个全国统一的认证和执法体系，几乎影响到国内的每一家实验室。因此，所有可能受到影响的实验室以及设有实验室部门的医疗保健机构，都应仔细研读这些法规，并在1992年9月1日实施日期之前提前做好遵守准备。
