- Description
- Statement of Work The American Proficiency Institute is one of the largest proficiency testing providers in the world serving over 18,000 laboratories. API changed the face of proficiency testing by being the first to provide liquid chemistry samples, complete blood count with automated differential, blood cell photographs, practitioner-performed microscopy. Through its innovative processes, the American Proficiency Institute offers paperless proficiency testing, free continuing education credits, rapid turnaround time, large peer group assessments, management reports, and excellent customer service. Proficiency Testing (PT) provides a documented, objective assessment of a laboratory's ability to produce accurate results. A PT provider, an external, independent organization, sends blind samples to participating laboratories. The laboratories analyze the samples and return the results to the PT provider. The PT provider then compares their results to other laboratories, applies grading criteria, and provides a "report card" to the laboratory with copies available to appropriate government and accrediting agencies. Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), all moderate and high complexity laboratories are required to participate in PT.
