Competency management, elevated.

Compass automates every compliance detail — and CompassPlus takes it further with simulation-based assessments that strengthen critical thinking, not just checklist completion.

From regulatory readiness to real clinical excellence — all in one platform.

Why labs choose compass

  • Designed for the lab—not adapted for it.
  • Paperless from end to end — auto-assignments, routed e-signatures, and smart reminders.
  • CLIA compliance made easy — evidence for all six elements, correct timing, and built-in attestation.
  • One system of record — centralized, time-stamped, audit-ready evidence across labs.
  • Readiness at a glance — real-time dashboards for managers and staff.
