SLT_437 Continuous Quality Improvement

Use this form to avoid being cited for not documenting self-grading of those "ungraded" proficiency test scores.

“Does your laboratory verify the accuracy of any analyte, specialty, or subspecialty that is assigned a PT score that does not reflect the accuracy of the laboratory’s actual test performance?"

"The laboratory must carefully review graded PT reports received from its PT provider. There are cases where although the laboratory performed and reported PT results, these results may not have been scored or evaluated for accuracy or the laboratory may have received scores that do not truly reflect laboratory performance."
