2013 Surveys 

and Anatomic Pathology Education Programs

Welcome to the 2013 Surveys catalog 

We always want the best products and services, whether 

for our home or laboratory. Oftentimes, selecting “the best” 

requires extensive research, conversations with friends and 

colleagues, and lots of time on the Internet to make the 

right decision. As a customer of the College of American 

 

that you have chosen what I believe to be the best external 

 

I realize choosing external quality assessment products is more 

complex than most of the decisions we make for our home. 

 

for the right analytes, all in combination, must be considered 

in a laboratory’s decision to enroll in a program. How can 

I assure you that you have chosen the best PT provider? I 

believe there are several reasons. I’d like to share a couple: 

 

 

 

 

 

the development, launch, and evaluation of all CAP Surveys. This is not an 

internal process. It requires extensive collaboration with many organizations 

such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American 

Association for Clinical Chemistry. 

Innovation. The CAP further distinguishes itself with the desire to listen 

to its customers and continually innovate with the development of new 

products and services. In 2013, the new e-LAB Solutions Connect TM will 

streamline PT management with direct submission of data from instruments 

to e-LAB Solutions TM . Furthermore, the CAP will introduce nearly 50 new PT 

products in 2013. 

Serving in a CAP leadership role, I am amazed at the dedication of the teams of experts 

 

personally consult with CAP customers for the betterment of laboratory quality and 

patient care and outcomes. 

You have made what I personally see as the best choice for your laboratory and your 

patients. Your participation, just like that of the teams of experts and collaborators that 

 

services and patient care. I applaud your choice. 

Sincerely, 

R. Bruce Williams, MD, FCAP

Maintenance of Certification (MOC) 

Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is the board certification program that involves continuous professional development and 

ensures that an American Board of Pathology (ABP) board-certified pathologist is committed to lifelong learning and competency 

in a specialty and/or subspecialty. 

There are six competency categories defined by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and endorsed by the ABP 

to fulfill specific MOC requirements. They are listed below with their icons and descriptions. Select CAP education activities are 

labeled with one or more MOC icons indicating the competencies addressed in that education activity. You can use these icons to 

develop a learning plan that meets your needs and fulfills your MOC Part II: Lifelong Learning and Part IV: Practice Performance 

Assessment requirements. 

All CAP education activities providing CME credits meet the MOC Part II: Lifelong Learning requirements. Some programs will 

meet the requirements for Self-Assessment Module (SAM) and/or MOC Part IV at the laboratory or the individual levels. Programs 

that meet Part IV are identified within the description of the program. Visit the CAP website for the current list of programs that 

meet the requirements for MOC Part II and Part IV. 

Interpersonal and Communication Skills 

Demonstrate interpersonal and communication skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with 

patients, patients’ families, and professional associates. 

Medical Knowledge 

Demonstrate knowledge of established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate sciences and the application of this 

knowledge to pathology. 

Practice-Based Learning and Improvement 

Demonstrate ability to investigate and evaluate diagnostic and laboratory practices in your own lab, appraise and 

assimilate scientific evidence, and improve laboratory practices and patient care. 

Patient Care 

Demonstrate a satisfactory level of diagnostic competence and provide appropriate and effective consultation in the 

context of pathology services. 

Professionalism 

Demonstrate a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to 

diverse patient population. 

Systems-Based Practice 

Demonstrate understanding of and contribution to local, regional, and national health care systems, and support health 

care in systems-based practice definition. 

This activity fulfills the SAM credit requirements for MOC and is therefore eligible for SAM credit. Participants who 

successfully complete an online assessment may apply their earned credit(s) to the ABP’s SAM requirements. 

2 


Note to CME/CE participants: As of July 1, 2011, the AMA mandates that all education providers (such as the CAP) 

require participants pass assessment questions in an enduring* program in order to earn and claim CME credits. 

All participants in any activity granting CME/CE will be required to complete and pass assessment questions 

before claiming their credits. 

For CME/CE activities: Participants will have unlimited attempts to pass the assessment. 

For CME/SAM activities ONLY: Participants will have three attempts to pass the assessment, with feedback 

provided after each attempt. Participants may not claim CME/SAM if they do not pass on the third attempt. 

*Enduring programs are those courses that endure over time such as print or Internet courses.

Reasons for Test Cancellation QP131 

New 

3 

Laboratory tests may be cancelled for a variety of reasons after specimens have been collected and received in the laboratory 

but before results have been reported. Each cancellation represents both a use of laboratory resources and a potential delay in 

patient care. Preanalytical reasons for test cancellation by the ordering source include wrong test, wrong patient, or duplicate 

tests. The laboratory may also cancel tests for preanalytical reasons related to specimen quality, transportation conditions, 

or lost specimens. Analytical reasons for test cancellation by the laboratory include such things as interfering substances or 

contamination that make results unreliable. 


This study will allow participant laboratories to categorize the reasons for test cancellation in order to identify opportunities for 

improvement in test ordering, quality of collected specimens, and specimen tracking. 

Objective 

Determine the rate and reasons for test cancellation for blood specimens that have been collected and received in the 

laboratory for hematology, chemistry, or coagulation testing and compare performance between participating institutions. 

Data Collection 

Participants will prospectively review accessions into the chemistry/hematology/coagulation laboratories for a six-week 

period or until 75 cancellation events are identified. An event may be a single test cancelled or if multiple tests are cancelled 

at the same time for the same reason, this will be considered one cancellation event. The participants will provide the reason 

for the cancellation (eg, cancelled by ordering source, cancelled by laboratory for ordering problems, specimen quality, or 

analytical problems).

Q-PROBES 

Point-of-Care Glucose Critical Values QP132 

New 

Point-of-care glucose (POCG) testing is central to glycemic control, insulin treatment, and the risk management of hypoglycemia. 

POCG measurements are also useful for the immediate detection of severe (critical) hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic episodes, 

which require prompt intervention. Detection of critical glucose results and their timely reporting to responsible caregivers is 

recognized as an important patient safety goal. While results from POCG testing have been demonstrated to be generally 

comparable to testing serum specimens by conventional methods, accuracy is not as good when testing critically ill patients and 

when results are in the extreme (critical) high or low range. In addition, nurses and others who perform POCG testing may lack 

experience with handling critical results that are relatively infrequent. 

Objective 

Determine the current policies and practices involving verification and notification of critical value results obtained by POCG 

measurements in the hospital and emergency department setting. 


Participants will retrospectively identify 50 consecutive POCG measurements (or all that are identified within a review limit 

of one year) on inpatients and emergency department patients that initially (before confirmation) produced critical high or 

critical low results. For each case, record the method, result, and location. Also, if performed, record the confirmation method, 

confirmation result, and notification action. Record the total number of POCG tests and the total number of critical values from 

the time period used to identify the 50 critical glucose measurements. 

Complete a questionnaire of policies and practices related to critical POCG results. Information to be collected will include 

POCG methods, operator training and certification, definition of POCG critical values, procedure and criteria for confirming 

a POCG critical value, and process for notification, including documentation. In addition, information will be collected about 

quality assurance tracking of critical POCG values.

Q-PROBES 

Microbiology Testing for Hospital Infection Control QP133 

New 

3 


Clinical microbiology reports are the pivot on which hospital infection control turns. The Joint Commission requires all 

accredited hospitals to maintain epidemiological monitoring programs. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 

mandates that all hospitals submit data on measures to prevent health care-associated infections and withhold reimbursement 

when patients are readmitted with some of them. 

Quality measures for methods to detect antimicrobial resistant agents of hospital-acquired infections are in flux. Infection control 

measures that respond to agents’ isolation are controversial. This Q-PROBES study examines detection rates for the two most 

clinically important of these agents in settings of surveillance and diagnosis. 

Objective 

Examine detection rates in the surveillance and diagnosis of various methods for demonstrating (1) methicillin-resistant 

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and (2) Clostridium difficile. 


Identify methicillin-resistant S. aureus and C. difficile positive specimens until 30 isolates of each phenotype are identified or 

eight weeks have elapsed, whichever comes first. Record the collection site (MRSA) or type of stool specimen (C. difficile), 

specimen collection date/time, result reporting date/time, and the detection method for the MRSA or C. difficile positive 

specimen. In addition, record the number of patients admitted to the hospital, the number of S. aureus isolates (both methicillinsensitive 

and methicillin-resistant), and the number of samples submitted for C. difficile testing during the study period. 

Participants will return two questionnaires. In the first questionnaire, laboratory personnel characterize specimen collection 

requirements, detection methods, and reporting practices for the two agents of interest. In the second questionnaire, local 

infection control practitioners report on institutional practices regarding screening for methicillin-resistant S. aureus and 

C. difficile and regarding isolation of patients carrying or infected by these phenotypes. 


 

o Separate detection rates for MRSA and C. difficile: 

Among patients presenting for admission to hospital 

Among patients contracting these agents as nosocomial infections 

 

o Breakdown by body site for the organisms isolated by various microbiological techniques 

o Median and range of time interval between specimen collection and result reporting stratified 

by detection method 

This is a one-time study conducted in the third quarter. 


Q-PROBES 

Molecular Testing in Anatomic Pathology QP134 

New 

With the rapid growth of specialized molecular testing, laboratories are being asked more frequently to use anatomic 

pathology material to perform molecular testing, either in the laboratory or as a send-out to a reference laboratory. The 

retrieval and preparation of the material may be very time consuming and labor intensive, particularly if unstained slides 

are requested or archival storage is not on site. In some cases, laboratories are required to perform molecular tests on a 

reflex basis. The molecular tests themselves can be very costly. When the requested testing does not meet established clinical 

guidelines in regard to the timing of the test, the use of the results, or the adequacy of the material available for testing, the 

laboratory may question the relevance of these assays. While there are some guidelines on clinical relevance and performance 

of these tests, there is currently limited information in the literature about the adherence to these guidelines and the additional 

workload on laboratory personnel. 

Objective 

Determine timing, appropriateness, and practice patterns of molecular testing in surgical pathology for lung carcinoma, 

colorectal carcinoma, and melanoma. 


Two data collections will be conducted. First, participants will retrospectively identify all lung carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, 

and melanoma cases for which molecular testing was performed over the prior year, or until 40 cases are collected, whichever 

comes first. For each case, participants will record the patient’s demographic information, the organ site, specimen type 

(ie, biopsy, resection, cytology), histologic subtype of the tumor, tissue preparation that was used for molecular analysis (ie, 

paraffin block, unstained slides), molecular test requested, the order or submit date, and the final report date for the molecular 

test result. Second, participants will prospectively collect information on all requests for molecular testing in anatomic pathology 

over a one month period, or until 30 cases are collected, whichever comes first. For each collection, both in-house and send-out 

tests will be included.

Primary: 

o Percentage of cases in which the use of molecular testing adhered to established clinical guidelines 

Secondary: 

o Percentage of cases in which molecular testing was successfully performed 

o Percentage of all solid tumor cases for which molecular testing was requested

Q-TRACKS 

Q-TRACKS Clinical Pathology Monitors 

Patient Identification Accuracy QT1 

In order to report accurate laboratory results and meet The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal #1: “Improve the 

accuracy of patient identification,” institutions must properly identify patients. Since most laboratories perform testing away 

from the patient, patient identification, labeling of specimens, and coordination with test requisitions must be performed 

accurately and completely. By continuously monitoring for wristband errors, participants can promptly identify and correct 

problems that may interfere with patient care services. 

Objective 

Assess the incidence of wristband errors within individual institutions, compare performance between participating institutions, 

and identify improvement opportunities. 


On six predetermined days per month, participants will monitor patient wristband identification for all phlebotomies performed 

at their institution. Phlebotomists will tally the total number of wristbands checked, the number of errors found, and the types 

of wristband error. This monitor includes all routinely wristbanded patients. (Include emergency department patients only if the 

emergency department routinely applies wristbands to these patients.) 

3 



 


 

Blood Culture Contamination QT2 

Despite advances in blood culture practices and technology, false-positive blood culture results due to contaminants continue to 

be a critical problem. Blood culture contamination rate, the primary indicator of preanalytic performance in microbiology, is 

associated with increased length of hospital stay, additional expense, and the administration of unnecessary antibiotics. The 

CAP and other accrediting organizations require you to monitor and evaluate key indicators of quality for improvement 

opportunities. Use this monitor to help meet this requirement. 

Objective 

Determine the rate of blood culture contamination using standardized criteria for classifying contaminants. 


On a monthly basis, participants will tabulate the total number of blood cultures processed and the total number of contaminated 

blood cultures. Blood cultures from neonatal patients are tabulated separately. For the purposes of this study, participants will 

consider a blood culture to be contaminated if they find one or more of the following organisms in only one of a series of blood 

culture specimens: Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus; Micrococcus; Alpha-hemolytic (viridans) Streptococci; Propionibacterium 

acnes; Corynebacterium sp. (diptheroids); or Bacillus sp. Participants have the option to monitor institution-specific subgroups.

Q-TRACKS 

Laboratory Specimen Acceptability QT3 

3 


A substantial amount of rework, diagnostic and therapeutic delay, and patient inconvenience can result from specimen 

rejection. Patient redraws may result from unlabeled, mislabeled, and incompletely labeled specimens; clotted and/or 

hemolyzed specimens; or insufficient specimen quantity. By continuously monitoring specimen acceptability, collection, and 

transport, laboratories can promptly identify and correct problems. 

Objective 

Identify and characterize unacceptable blood specimens that are submitted to the chemistry and hematology sections of 

the clinical laboratory for testing. 


This monitor includes all blood specimens submitted for testing to the chemistry and hematology departments of the clinical 

laboratory. On a weekly basis, participants will record the total number of specimens received, the number of rejected 

specimens, and the primary reason each specimen was rejected. 


 


 

In-Date Blood Product Wastage QT4 

Blood for transfusion is a precious resource. At a minimum, wastage of blood that is not out-of-date represents a financial loss 

to the health care system. More ominously, systemic wastage of blood may reflect an environment of care that is out of control 

and could pose risks to patient safety. 

Objective 

Compare the rates of blood product wastage (ie, units discarded in-date) in participating hospitals and track rates of 

improvement over time. 


On a monthly basis, participants will use blood bank records to obtain information on the total number of units transfused 

for each type of blood component. Participants will track the number and type of blood units that are wasted in-date and the 

circumstances of wastage. Include the following types of blood components: red blood cells (allogeneic), frozen plasma, 

platelet concentrates, single donor platelets, and cryoprecipitate. 


 

 


 



Q-TRACKS 

Satisfaction With Outpatient Specimen Collection QT7 

Specimen collection is one of the few areas of laboratory medicine that involves direct outpatient contact. As a result, patient 

satisfaction with this service is a vital indicator of quality laboratory performance. Accrediting agencies such as The Joint 

Commission and CAP (GEN.20335) require measurement of patient satisfaction with laboratory services. Use this monitor to 

help meet this requirement. 

Objective 

Assess patient satisfaction with outpatient phlebotomy services by measuring patients’ assessment of waiting time, discomfort 

level, courteous treatment, and overall satisfaction. 


On a monthly basis, participants will distribute copies of a questionnaire to a minimum of 25 outpatients (maximum of 99 

outpatients), using predetermined data collection criteria. This monitor includes any outpatient undergoing venipuncture. This 

monitor excludes patients seen in the emergency department, ambulatory surgery area, urgent care facility, chest pain center, 

23-hour short-stay facility, employee health department, outpatient health screening fair/promotion, dialysis center, nursing 

home, or extended care facility.

Stat Test Turnaround Time Outliers QT8 

The stat test turnaround time (TAT) outlier rate, expressed as a percentage of tests missing target reporting times, is a measure 

of outcomes that evaluates how well the laboratory meets patient and clinician needs. This monitor helps meet CAP Checklist 

requirement GEN.20316, “The QM program includes monitoring key indicators of quality in the preanalytic, analytic, and 

postanalytic phases. 

Objective 

Monitor the frequency with which stat test TAT intervals exceed institutional stat test TAT expectations. 


Before beginning data collection, participants will establish a specimen receipt-to-report deadline for emergency department 

(ED) stat potassium tests. On six predetermined days per month, participants will monitor the TAT of up to 10 randomly

Q-TRACKS 

Critical Values Reporting QT10 

3 


Laboratories commonly refer to critical values as results requiring immediate notification to the physician or caregiver for 

necessary patient evaluation or treatment. Recent regulations from agencies and accreditors such as the CMS, The Joint 

Commission, and the CAP (GEN.20316, COM.30000) mandate that laboratories develop and implement an alert system 

for critical values. Use this monitor to document compliance with your laboratory’s alert plan. 

Objective 

Evaluate the documentation of successful critical values reporting of general chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analytes 

for both inpatients and outpatients according to the laboratory’s policy. 


On a monthly basis, participants will evaluate 120 inpatient and 120 outpatient critical values. Data collection will include 

general chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analytes on the critical values list. Retrospectively, participants will record the 

total number of critical values monitored and the number with documentation of successful notification. This monitor will 

exclude critical values for microbiology, cardiac markers, drugs of abuse, therapeutic drug levels, urinalysis, blood gases, 

point-of-care tests, tests performed at reference laboratories, and critical values on discharged patients. 


 

 

 

Turnaround Time of Troponin QT15 

The swiftness with which physicians establish diagnoses of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients presenting to the 

emergency department (ED) with chest pain may determine the type and predict the outcome of therapy those patients will 

receive. Included in the total time consumed in establishing diagnoses of AMI are the component intervals required to measure 

biochemical markers of myocardial injury. One of the most critical biochemical markers is troponin. Help meet CAP Checklist 

requirement GEN.20316 with this monitor. 

Objective 

Determine the median order-to-report turnaround time (TAT) of troponin (I or T) and the percent of troponin results reported by 

each institution’s established deadline. 


Participants will record TATs (in minutes) for three randomly selected troponin specimens obtained from patients seen in EDs on 

each of three traditional shifts (total of nine measurements) on six predetermined days per month. They will measure TATs from 

the time the tests are ordered to the time that results are made available to ED personnel. 


 

 



Q-TRACKS 

Corrected Results QT16 

The CAP developed this Q-TRACKS monitor in recognition of the importance of timely detection and correction of erroneous 

laboratory results. Accuracy in laboratory results is critical to the effectiveness of a physician’s plan of care for a patient. An 

erroneous result can delay or alter patient treatment; therefore, detection of erroneous results should be a priority in every 

laboratory and should be monitored as a key quality indicator. Help measure your compliance with CLIA 493.1299, 

Postanalytic Systems Quality Assessment, with this monitor. 

3 

Objective 

Monitor the number of corrected test results within individual institutions and compare performance with that of all institutions 

and those institutions similar to yours. 


On a monthly basis, participants will monitor the number of corrected test results and the total number of billable tests for that 

month. Include test results for all patients in all care settings with the following exclusions: anatomic pathology tests, narrative 

physician-interpreted tests (eg, bone marrow biopsies and peripheral smear reports), and point-of-care tests. 


 


Outpatient Order Entry Errors QT17 

Order accuracy bears an obvious relationship to the quality of laboratory testing. When the laboratory fails to complete a 

requested test, it delays the diagnostic evaluation, potentially extending a patient’s hospital stay and prolonging therapy. 

When the laboratory completes a test that was not requested, the cost of care increases, patients may be subjected to 

unnecessary phlebotomy, and laboratory efficiency declines. 

Objective 

Measure the incidence of incorrectly interpreted and entered outpatient physician test orders into the laboratory computer, 

compare performance across institutions, and track performance over time. 


On six preselected weekdays per month, participants will compare eight outpatient requisitions or order sheets to the orders 

entered into the laboratory’s information system to determine if any order entry errors occurred. Order entry error categories 

include requesting physician errors; incorrect, missing, and extra test errors; test priority errors; and nonroutine routing request 

errors. This monitor excludes tests performed in transfusion medicine/blood bank or anatomic pathology. This monitor also 

excludes tests from the following patient care settings: inpatient, ED, ambulatory surgery, urgent care, chest pain center, 23- 

hour short-stay facility, employee health department, outpatient screening fair/promotion, and dialysis center.

Gynecologic Cytology Outcomes: Biopsy Correlation Performance QT5 

The correlation of cervicovaginal cytology (Pap test) findings with cervical biopsy results is a significant part of the 

cytopathology laboratory’s quality assurance program. By monitoring this correlation, the laboratory can identify potential 

problems that require improvement, thereby ensuring better patient results. 

Objective 

Quantify the correlation between the findings of cervicovaginal cytology and corresponding histologic material. 


On a monthly basis, participants will record information on true-positive, false-positive, and false-negative cytology-biopsy 

correlations. The false-negative correlations will be classified into four error categories: screening errors, interpretive errors, 

screening and interpretive errors, and adequacy determination errors. Participants will also record the biopsy diagnoses for 

Pap tests with an interpretation of atypical squamous cells (ASC-US and ASC-H) or atypical glandular cells (AGC). This monitor 

includes patients for whom a cervical biopsy specimen is submitted to the laboratory and for whom a satisfactory or satisfactory 

but limited Pap test has been submitted within three months previous to the biopsy or at the time of the biopsy.

Monitoring of Troponin Metrics for Chest Pain Centers QM1 

Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain must be evaluated quickly. Rapid serum troponin 

measurement is an important part of ED practice that can provide decisive information for patient management. Reducing 

delays in troponin testing has been reported to result in shorter length of stay in the ED and more rapid initiation of antiischemic 

treatment. Chest pain centers should therefore have effective procedures for ensuring optimal turnaround time (TAT) for 

troponin and a process for ongoing monitoring to ensure that performance meets expectations. Participants will monitor two to 

eight metrics required by the Society of Chest Pain Centers (Cycle IV: Key Element 4.4.0.0) and monitor the CMS requirement 

(Measure OP-16) for troponin turnaround time of 60 minutes or less when measured from patient arrival to result availability. 

Institutions do not need to be accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers to participate in this monitor. 

Objective 

Help meet the CMS and Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC) quality performance requirements for monitoring ED troponin 

TAT and meeting timeliness goals. 

Data collection 

Collect data six days per month from nine patients per day from patients in whom troponin is measured and record time points 

for certain actions in the testing process. These times include patient arrival, test order, specimen collection, laboratory receipt, 

and result availability. Participants will select which metrics to monitor, with the option to monitor all metrics. 

Participants will also complete a questionnaire about clinical and laboratory practices related to troponin testing.

Q-MONITORS 

Completeness of Cancer Reporting QM2 

In 2004, the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer introduced Standard 4.6 (now Standard 2.1) for 

 

reports contain all of the required data elements defined by the CAP Cancer Protocols. The CAP Laboratory Accreditation 

Program contains a similar requirement (ANP.12350). 

The Joint Commission standards for medical staff MS.4.15 and MS.4.40 stipulate that medical staff members undergo 

Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) more often than every year, and completeness of cancer reporting has been 

suggested as one measure suitable for OPPE. Finally, the CMS pay-for-performance standards for pathologists provided 

incentives for the inclusion of specific elements in colon, breast, and prostate cancer reports (H.R. 6111). 

This ongoing quality performance measure can be used to assess whether departments are in compliance with standards 

related to cancer reporting. The data may also be subcategorized by individual pathologist for use in ongoing professional 

practice evaluations. 

Objective 

Determine the adequacy of cancer reporting. 


 

each quarter for adequacy. For other laboratories, a minimum of 30 cases per quarter is required for evaluation. Institutions 

may optionally collect data for individual pathologists to be used for ongoing professional practice evaluations. Reports will 

be evaluated for the presence of all CAP-required data elements, as specified in the CAP Cancer Checklists, and the use of 

synoptic format. 

3 



Primary: 

o Percentage of reports that include all CAP-required data elements 

o Percentage of reports using a synoptic format 

Secondary: (optional) 

o Summary of each pathologist’s performance with respect to completeness and use of synoptic format

Manage your laboratory more effectively with LMIP—The Laboratory Management Index 

Program (LMIP), an effective fiscal management tool, offers a valuable peer comparison of your 

laboratory’s performance. LMIP can help you with the annual budget process, contract 

negotiations, and daily operations management. 

With more than 15 years of experience and the largest laboratory participant database, LMIP is 

the best management resource for health care professionals charged with decision-making 

responsibilities. Using management ratios as performance indicators, LMIP extends beyond 

traditional analysis of productivity and staffing to focus on the most important factors affecting 

laboratory performance: 

Productivity—How effectively are you using your laboratory personnel? 

Utilization—How do your test-ordering patterns compare to those of your peers? 

Cost-effectiveness— How efficiently are you using your supplies, equipment, and labor? 

With LMIP’s statistically valid method of peer grouping (fingerprint clustering), you receive the most 

meaningful comparisons. These comparisons allow you, your colleagues, and your administration 

to make informed and realistic decisions about staffing, budgets, and other performance targets. 

Achieving quality test results involves more than just ensuring properly conducted tests. 

Understanding financial factors that drive laboratory processes enhances your confidence in the 

management decisions you make. Ultimately, these decisions will guide your organization to 

deliver superior patient care. 


LMIP 

Laboratory Management Index Program LMB 

LMIP provides a report of your laboratory’s overall operation. Quarterly reports summarize relevant management ratios that 

provide analysis of the productivity of personnel, laboratory policies and procedures, salary and other expenses, physician test 

utilization, and organizational benefits. 

The input items you will collect include: 

 

Outpatient Visits 

 

Referred SBTs 

 

Referred SBT Expense 

 

Testing Labor Expense 

 

Testing Paid Hours 

 

Total Labor Expense 

 

Total Laboratory Paid Hours 

 

Total Laboratory Worked Hours 

 

Total SBTs 

 

LMIP uses the Standardized Billable Test (SBT) as the primary unit of measure. The SBT standardizes test counts and eliminates 

billing, accounting, and interpretation variations to ensure valid comparisons.

CAP Sample Exchange Registry provides for alternative 

assessment service 

9 


All clinical laboratory disciplines are now included. 

The College of American Pathologists’ complimentary Sample Exchange 

Registry for Alternative Assessment now includes all clinical laboratory 

disciplines. This Internet-based service connects laboratories performing 

testing for which no formal proficiency testing is available. Laboratories 

can participate in the registry service at any time. When at least three 

laboratories testing the same analyte are identified, the CAP will facilitate 

the sample exchange. Data will be anonymized, and each individual laboratory 

will receive its own results along with an anonymous summary report for all participants. 

Visit cap.org/SampleExchange to learn more.

Our program will help you meet CLIA regulations and CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program requirements for 

calibration verification and analytical measurement range (AMR) validation under 42 CFR493.1255(b)(3) for most 

analytes. In addition, you will receive a linearity assessment to help identify instrument/method performance issues 

before they can affect your patient results. 

With your enrollment in the CAP CVL program you will receive: 

Testing Kit 

o Kit instructions—Contain important information to help you complete testing and accurately report your results 

o Result forms 

o Specimens—The majority of CAP CVL products offer human-based materials to closely mimic your patient results 

Customized Report Package 

o Executive Summary—A quick overview of both your calibration verification and linearity results for all reported 

analytes 

o Calibration Verification evaluation 

o Linearity evaluation 

LN Express SM , our expedited delivery service, within two business 

days for select CVL products by logging in to e-LAB Solutions 

o Linearity Troubleshooting Report 

o Participant Summary report—A summary of laboratory performance that includes peer group statistics and 

enhanced diagnostic information for early insight into potential problems 

Additional Tools 

o Calibration Verification/Linearity Program User’s Guide—Get assistance in interpreting your evaluations and 

reports as well as helpful troubleshooting information with suggested actions. Also available online by logging in 

to e-LAB Solutions

CAP Sample Exchange Registry connects your laboratory for 

alternative assessment 

All clinical laboratory disciplines are now included 







the sample exchange. Data will be anonymized, and each individual laboratory will 

receive its own results along with an anonymous summary report for all participants. 

“ PathGroup’s patients have benefited because the CAP’s Sample 

Exchange Program helps us ensure that we are providing the accurate 

results needed for proper medical decision making. We have seen 

excellent correlation of results in all of the exchanges. The program will 

continue to benefit our patients by matching PathGroup with other 

labs that are doing advanced molecular diagnostics. ”

the peripheral blood, marrow, lymphoid tissue, and extranodal sites. 

Using multicolor techniques pioneered by Brent Wood, the text 

demonstrates a unique approach to diagnosis of hematopoietic 

malignancies as well as identification of small abnormal populations 

in the posttherapy setting (minimal residual disease testing). 

Flow Cytometry in Evaluation of Hematopoietic Neoplasms 

provides pathologists, residents, laboratory technologists, and 

hematologists with both a study guide and an atlas for regular 

consultation in the clinical flow cytometry laboratory. The 

2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system, 

French-American-British (FAB) classifications, and 2006 Bethesda 

Consensus recommendations are incorporated in the text. 

“…a comprehensive review of the field with superb 

illustrations of flow patterns. Practitioners will find it useful in 

the daily interpretation of flow cytometric investigations in

Please note that replacements are not available for products with limited stability. Survey materials that are liquid are shipped with 

frozen cold packs or dry ice and need to be kept cold as much as possible. If transportation to your location cannot meet these 

conditions, note that replacements will not be available. 

If the CAP accredits your international laboratory, please review options for addressing issues with material instability with the 

CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program staff.
