RE: [Histonet] Proficiency Testing (PT) or Interlaboratory Education Comparisons or Education Program
Hi According to my understanding and practicing, the PT must cover all your test menu: Surgical Pathology, Cytopathology Immunohistochemistry. ANP.02000 Education Participation Phase I As applicable, the laboratory participates in a peer educational program in anatomic pathology (e.g. CAP Educational Anatomic Pathology Programs). NOTE: The laboratory should consider participation in programs appropriate to its scope of service. Such programs provide valuable educational opportunities for peer performance comparisons in both technical and diagnostic arenas. While none of these completely emulates the precise clinical setting involving anatomic pathology preparations and rendering of anatomic or clinical diagnoses, they can be a useful benchmark of peer-based performance in a national database. Evidence of Compliance: ✓ Records such as CAP order form, purchase order AND ✓ Completed/submitted results indicating that the laboratory is participating in a CAP educational AP program OR records of enrollment/participation in another AP peer educational program OR records for participation in a laboratory-developed program by circulating case material with other laboratories or within the laboratory's own practice with documentation of peer review CYP.00125 PT ParticipationPhase II For laboratories subject to US regulations that perform gynecologic cytopathology, the laboratory and all individuals who examine gynecologic preparations participate in the CAP Gynecologic Cytology PT Program (PAP PT) or another proficiency testing program in gynecologic cytopathology approved by CMS. NOTE: This checklist requirement applies only to US laboratories and other laboratories subject to CLIA regulations. Laboratories must maintain documentation of PT performance for at least 2 years. Documentation must be kept for each individual participating in annual PT, including identification of those who are retested; documentation of remedial training; records of imposition of limitations on slide examination; and records of re-examination of slides, as required by CLIA. Evidence of Compliance: ✓ Written policy describing handling of PT failures (may include retesting, remedial training, and imposition of limitations on slide examination) AND ✓ Records that the laboratory is enrolled and all currently employed personnel have successfully completed PT AND ✓ Records of retesting, remedial training and imposition of limitations, if applicable AND ✓ Records of notification to the PT provider and CMS for any PAP testing personnel who left employment prior to completion of annual PT REFERENCES 1) Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
