AABB introduced a new web-based accreditation system to streamline the accreditation process and eliminate a significant amount of paperwork. The new system, APEX, debuted on Jan. 1 for use by all AABB-accredited facilities, assessors and AABB's accreditation staff.
Previously, institutions seeking to renew AABB accreditation had to complete paperwork every two years, and institutional information could only be updated at the time of accreditation renewal. Using APEX, institutions will be able to access and update their information at any time.
