Carol, I take these kinds of CAP issues to mean, develop your own program for proficiency testing and show how you have validated it, then show it to CAP, they usually want to know that you have a plan in place even if it is something you developed yourself.

Histonetter's I only received one reply on my question regarding "what everyone is doing for proficiency testing of enzyme HC staining for muscle"...espeically for CLIA.compliance, now that I will lose my indepent reviewer. My thanks to Jan Minchew for her reply. I am working from that for now, though my sitiation somewhat different. .....but, I am finding it particularly frustrating finding an answer to this question over the last three months or more, that I have searched everywhere from the histonet to the internet toevery friend I have doing EHC. Is it required under CLIA? My auditor says yes..so I am trying to comply, though I cannot fiind it specifically in any CLIA reg. Who is the CLIA expert out there...and why is this not included in HQIP? Can someone shed more light. Thx.
