Improve the reliability of your patient results with CAP Survey Validated Materials

Use the same material that is sent in the Surveys program to:

  • Identify and troubleshoot instrument / method problems
  • Correlate results with other laboratories or instruments
  • Document correlation of problems identified in Surveys
  • Utilize material with confirmed results as an alternative external quality control
  • Identify potential proficiency testing failures
Each laboratory receives a Survey Participant Summary, which includes readily available results


Program Information
