Yes, we do that... You pay your money and they send the materials.
JC accepts CAP as the proficiency provider. JC is more oriented to the whole system rather than just the lab. JC is not as specific towards lab technical issues as CAP is. They use "tracers" to follow everything done to and for a patient in the system. In the lab that means ensuring your QA/QC system is airtight. They can look at ANYTHING related to a given test - reagent QA, technologist training/proficiency documentation, instrument records, QC documentation, etc. They want to see how well you follow a QA/QC system. No downside, just a bit different than CAP.

One of our questions is, can we still participate in the proficiency testing through CAP> If anyone has done this can you explain the process and the upside and the down side.
