The HQWSI program provides feedback to laboratories using whole slide imaging for clinical applications. Participants upload their scanned whole slide images to the CAP designated server. An expert panel of pathologists, histotechnicians, and histotechnologists evaluate image and histologic quality using uniform grading criteria. Participants will receive an evaluation and a participant summary, as well as annotated feedback directly on their uploaded images.
