Proficiency testing as a regulatory device: a CAP perspective

W Hamlin
Laboratory of Pathology, Seattle, WA 98104.

Important considerations of external surveys include target value assignment and determination of acceptable ranges. "Blind" proficiency testing and on-site evaluation provide alternative methods of laboratory evaluation but are limited by practical logistics.
