Surveys and Anatomic Pathology Education Programs

cap.org

Welcome to the 2012 Surveys Catalog More than 60 years ago, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) developed the first continuing external proficiency testing Survey. When we introduced the Survey in 1949, our goal was the same as it is today— to maintain the highest standards for laboratory medicine through education, evaluation, and certification. As you review the catalog, you will discover that in 2012 the CAP Surveys program has grown to encompass all facets of the clinical laboratory. Surveys has expanded from traditional clinical pathology disciplines into anatomic pathology and molecular testing; Surveys assesses preanalytic and postanalytic processes as well as the analytic phase of testing; and product configurations are available for the largest, most sophisticated laboratories as well as for point-of-care and in-office facilities. Today, CAP proficiency testing programs include more than 580 Surveys, and they are used by nearly 22,000 laboratories in 108 countries. The CAP’s Surveys provides the most comprehensive laboratory peer-comparison program in the world with large peer groups to ensure accurate evaluations, rich education tools, broad technical backup, and support for the latest testing methodologies. Yet to my mind, what best distinguishes the CAP Surveys program is the involvement of more than 500 leading medical and scientific experts across 25 CAP scientific resource committees. These practicing laboratory professionals join the CAP professional staff and collaborators from the CDC, AABB, AACC, and elsewhere to keep CAP Surveys current and relevant. This remarkable network of contributors helps the program provide the assurance you demand…an assurance you can pass along to patients, the health care team, and regulators. In the catalog, you will see and “hear” from scientific resource committee chairs who share their thoughts about how CAP Surveys can be used to increase confidence in your laboratory’s results and keep your staff up-to-date. I hope you will come to recognize, as I have, that the CAP Surveys is a critical component of a comprehensive laboratory quality management program that also includes quality control testing, properly trained personnel, appropriate equipment and consumables, documented procedures and processes, voluntary inspection and accreditation, and effective laboratory leadership. On behalf of the CAP and thousands of laboratory professionals, thank you for being a CAP Surveys subscriber. Your participation adds data to the largest peer-comparison program in laboratory medicine and makes the program better for the tens of thousands of facilities— including my own laboratory—that rely on this important resource. Sincerely,

Paul N. Valenstein, MD, FCAP Chair, CAP Council on Scientific Affairs

Interpersonal and Communication Skills Demonstrate interpersonal and communication skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with patients, the patients’ families, and professional associates. Medical Knowledge Demonstrate knowledge of established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate sciences and the application of this knowledge to pathology. Practice-Based Learning and Improvement Demonstrate ability to investigate and evaluate diagnostic and laboratory practices in your own lab, appraise and assimilate scientific evidence, and improve laboratory practices and patient care. Patient Care Demonstrate a satisfactory level of diagnostic competence and provide appropriate and effective consultation in the context of pathology services. Professionalism Demonstrate a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to diverse patient population. Systems-Based Practice Demonstrate understanding of and contribution to local, regional, and national health care systems, and support health care in systems-based practice definition.

Information for Courses Bearing the CAP SAM Icon This course is eligible for the ABP’s SAM credit. Participants who successfully complete an online assessment may apply their earned credit(s) to the ABP’s SAM requirements. Note to CME/SAM participants: Partipants in a CME/SAM activity will have three attempts to pass the assessment, with feedback provided after each attempt. For SAM courses released after July 1, 2011, participants may not claim CME if they do not pass on the third attempt. This change results from a new AMA requirement that all participants of an enduring* course must pass a scored assessment. * Enduring courses are those courses that endure over time such as print or Internet courses.

Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is the board certification program for assessment of continuing competency of physicians. The CAP helps pathologists meet lifelong learning requirements and offers CME programs that address the learning needs across the six competency categories as defined by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and endorsed by the American Board of Pathology (ABP). All CAP education activities providing CME credits meet the Part II: Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment Module (SAM) requirements for MOC. Further, selected CAP education activities meet the ABP requirements for SAMs and provide credits to fulfill the SAM credit requirements for MOC. Look for CAP education activities labeled with one or more MOC icons indicating the competency categories addressed in the education activity’s content. Use the icons to develop a learning plan that meets your needs and fulfills your competency categories.

Q-PROBES

Hospital Nursing Satisfaction With Clinical Laboratory Services QP121

New

Assessment of internal and external customer satisfaction is a key component of the quality improvement program for most laboratories and is a requirement for most accrediting organizations. Nursing personnel spend a significant amount of time interacting with laboratory personnel to initiate testing and follow up on results; therefore, this is an important group to monitor. This study provides a structured mechanism to obtain constructive feedback from the nursing service to identify improvement opportunities. Objective This study will determine and characterize the satisfaction of hospital nursing personnel with clinical laboratory services. Data Collection Participants will distribute up to 200 satisfaction surveys to nursing personnel (managerial and nonmanagerial) representing all locations within the hospital serviced by the laboratory. Participants have the option to distribute the survey and collect the survey responses electronically. Participants will return the results of the first 50 surveys to the CAP for analysis. Performance Indicators • Overall nursing satisfaction score • Percentage of excellent/good ratings • Percentage of below average/poor ratings

This is a one-time study conducted in the first quarter.

Q-PROBES

Turnaround Time for Large or Complicated Specimens in Surgical Pathology QP122

New

While the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Laboratory Accreditation Program requires monitoring of turnaround time for routine surgical pathology cases (ANP.12150), there is no such requirement for monitoring of selected large or complicated cases (CPT codes 88307 and 88309). The Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology (ADASP) recommends that acceptable turnaround time “should be determined on the basis of current literature, keeping in mind that acceptable turnaround times are also defined by the accrediting bodies. Turnaround times are variable depending on case complexity and other factors such as the presence of a residency training program. The standards may change over time with the advent of new technologies and other factors.” There is currently limited information in the literature regarding turnaround times for these large or complex specimens. Objective Determine the turnaround time for large or complex cases in surgical pathology. Data Collection Participants will review all large or complex surgical pathology cases over a period of 12 weeks or until 50 reports have been identified, whichever comes first. For each case, participants will report the CPT code (88307 or 88309), specimen type, organ system, disease category, type of special handling (if applicable), and the date of surgery, accessioning, and final sign out. Biopsy cases coded as CPT 88307 are excluded from the study. Performance Indicators • Primary: o Median turnaround time for cases coded CPT 88307 and 88309 • Secondary: o Comparison of turnaround time for different specimen types in various practice settings

This is a one-time study conducted in the second quarter.



Q-PROBES

Frequency Monitoring of Outpatient Laboratory Testing QP123

New

Clinical laboratories are commonly asked by institutional administrators to monitor and improve laboratory test utilization. One important aspect of laboratory utilization includes ensuring that tests are performed at appropriate intervals. This is because testing patients at inappropriate intervals can have both economic and clinical consequences. This study will examine ordering practices for commonly requested outpatient tests to determine how often these tests are ordered excessively. Participating laboratories will have the opportunity to compare their test ordering practices with other institutions and recognized guidelines at a time when they are under pressure to maximize resource utilization. Objective Measure how often patients are tested at frequencies that are consistent with recognized guidelines. Data Collection Participants will prospectively review 40 outpatient specimens of each type submitted to the laboratory for hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, and urine microalbumin. Total cholesterol measurements can be part of a lipid or cholesterol panel, and urine microalbumin will be limited to random or spot urine specimens. The laboratory information system will be queried to determine if the patient has a previously reported test result for the particular analyte within the past 24 months. Only those patients who have had a previous result within the past 24 months will be included. The patient’s age, the dates of the current and previous tests, and the current and previously reported test results will be recorded. The study will exclude specimens from inpatients, children under the age of 18, and patients who have received kidney transplants. Performance Indicators • Primary: o Percent of hemoglobin A1c tests performed at appropriate frequency o Percent of total cholesterol tests performed at appropriate frequency o Percent of urine microalbumin tests performed at appropriate frequency • Secondary: o Average intervals between test results for each test examined

This is a one-time study conducted in the third quarter.

Q-PROBES

Timeliness and Accuracy of Reporting Preliminary Blood Culture Results QP124

New

The impact on outcome of managing patients with serious bloodstream infections depends, in part, on the timeliness of reporting preliminary blood culture Gram stain results. It is therefore important to ensure that laboratory practices are optimized to process positive blood cultures and notify responsible clinicians of results as quickly as possible. Objective Measure the timeliness and accuracy of preliminary Gram stain results from positive blood cultures for benchmarking quality performance in clinical microbiology laboratories. Data Collection Prospectively review up to the first 40 consecutive positive blood cultures in which a Gram stain is performed during a 12-week period of time. For each blood culture, participants will record the times when: 1) the positive culture was first detected, 2) the Gram stain processing began, 3) the Gram stain was interpreted, and 4) the notification of preliminary results was completed. In addition, Gram stain results will be compared to the final culture results and recorded with interpretation of concurrence or discrepancy. Participants will also complete a questionnaire about laboratory blood culture practices that includes method(s), staffing, and reporting procedures. Performance Indicators • Primary: o Overall time interval between the first detection of the positive blood culture and the report of the preliminary Gram stain result o Percent agreement between the preliminary Gram stain result and the final culture results • Secondary: o Time interval between the detection of a positive blood culture and the start of Gram stain processing o Time interval between the start of Gram stain processing and the preliminary Gram stain result o Time interval between the preliminary Gram stain result and the clinician notification of preliminary results

This is a one-time study conducted in the fourth quarter.

Q-TRACKS

Q-TRACKS Clinical Pathology Monitors Patient Identification Accuracy QT1 In order to report accurate laboratory results and meet The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal #1: “Improve the accuracy of patient identification,” institutions must properly identify patients. Since most laboratories perform testing away from the patient, patient identification, labeling of specimens, and coordination with test requisitions must be performed accurately and completely. By continuously monitoring for wristband errors, participants can promptly identify and correct problems that may interfere with patient care services. Objective Assess the incidence of wristband errors within individual institutions, compare performance between participating institutions, and identify improvement opportunities. Data Collection On six predetermined days per month, participants will monitor patient wristband identification for all phlebotomies performed at their institution. Phlebotomists will tally the total number of wristbands checked, the number of errors found, and the types of wristband error. This monitor includes all routinely wristbanded patients. (Include emergency department patients only if the emergency department routinely applies wristbands to these patients.) Performance Indicator • Wristband Error Rate (%)

Performance Breakdown • Breakdown of Wristband Error Types (%)

Blood Culture Contamination QT2 Despite advances in blood culture practices and technology, false-positive blood culture results due to contaminants continue to be a critical problem. Blood culture contamination rate, the primary indicator of preanalytic performance in microbiology, is associated with increased length of hospital stay, additional expense, and the administration of unnecessary antibiotics. The CAP and other accrediting organizations require you to monitor and evaluate key indicators of quality for improvement opportunities. Use this monitor to help meet this requirement. Objective Determine the rate of blood culture contamination using standardized criteria for classifying contaminants. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will tabulate the total number of blood cultures processed and the total number of contaminated blood cultures. Blood cultures from neonatal patients are tabulated separately. For the purposes of this study, participants will consider a blood culture to be contaminated if they find one or more of the following organisms in only one of a series of blood culture specimens: Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus; Micrococcus; Alpha-hemolytic (viridans) Streptococci; Propionibacterium acnes; Corynebacterium sp. (diptheroids); or Bacillus sp. Participants have the option to monitor institution-specific subgroups. Performance Indicators • Neonatal Contamination Rate (%) • Other Contamination Rate (%) • Overall Contamination Rate (%)

Look for your input forms approximately three weeks prior to the quarter.



Q-TRACKS

Laboratory Specimen Acceptability QT3 A substantial amount of rework, diagnostic and therapeutic delay, and patient inconvenience can result from specimen rejection. Patient redraws may result from unlabeled, mislabeled, and incompletely labeled specimens; clotted and/or hemolyzed specimens; or insufficient specimen quantity. By continuously monitoring specimen acceptability, collection, and transport, laboratories can promptly identify and correct problems. Participation in this monitor can help satisfy the CAP’s Checklist requirement GEN.20348, “Preanalytic processes are monitored.” Objective Identify and characterize unacceptable blood specimens that are submitted to the chemistry and hematology sections of the clinical laboratory for testing. Data Collection This monitor includes all blood specimens submitted for testing to the chemistry and hematology departments of the clinical laboratory. On a weekly basis, participants will record the total number of specimens received, the number of rejected specimens, and the primary reason each specimen was rejected. Performance Indicator • Specimen Rejection Rate (%)

Performance Breakdown • Breakdown of Reasons for Rejection (%)

In-Date Blood Product Wastage QT4 Blood for transfusion is a precious resource. At a minimum, wastage of blood that is not out-of-date represents a financial loss to the health care system. More ominously, systemic wastage of blood may reflect an environment of care that is out of control and could pose risks to patient safety. Objective Compare the rates of blood product wastage (ie, units discarded in-date) in participating hospitals and track rates of improvement over time. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will use blood bank records to obtain information on the total number of units transfused for each type of blood component. Participants will track the number and type of blood units that are wasted in-date and the circumstances of wastage. Include the following types of blood components: red blood cells (allogeneic), frozen plasma, platelet concentrates, single donor platelets, and cryoprecipitate. Performance Indicators • Overall Blood Wastage Rate (%) • Wastage Rates by Blood Component Type (%)

Performance Breakdown • Breakdown of Circumstances of Wastage (%)

Q-TRACKS

Satisfaction With Outpatient Specimen Collection QT7 Specimen collection is one of the few areas of laboratory medicine that involves direct outpatient contact. As a result, patient satisfaction with this service is a vital indicator of quality laboratory performance. Accrediting agencies such as The Joint Commission and CAP (GEN.20368) require measurement of patient satisfaction with laboratory services. Use this monitor to help meet this requirement. Objective Assess patient satisfaction with outpatient phlebotomy services by measuring patients’ assessment of waiting time, discomfort level, courteous treatment, and overall satisfaction. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will distribute copies of a questionnaire to a minimum of 25 outpatients (maximum of 99 outpatients), using predetermined data collection criteria. This monitor includes any outpatient undergoing venipuncture. This monitor excludes patients seen in the emergency department, ambulatory surgery area, urgent care facility, chest pain center, 23-hour short-stay facility, employee health department, outpatient health screening fair/promotion, dialysis center, nursing home, or extended care facility. Performance Indicators • Overall Patient Satisfaction Score • Patients “More Than Satisfied” (%)

Stat Test Turnaround Time Outliers QT8 The stat test turnaround time (TAT) outlier rate, expressed as a percentage of tests missing target reporting times, is a measure of outcomes that evaluates how well the laboratory meets patient and clinician needs. This monitor helps meet CAP Checklist requirement GEN.20316, “The QM program includes monitoring key indicators of quality.” Objective Monitor the frequency with which stat test TAT intervals exceed institutional stat test TAT expectations. Data Collection Before beginning data collection, participants will establish a specimen receipt-to-report deadline for emergency department (ED) stat potassium tests. On six predetermined days per month, participants will monitor the TAT of up to 10 randomly selected ED stat potassium tests on each of three, eight-hour shifts (up to 180 tests per month) and track the number of ED stat potassium determinations reported later than the established reporting deadline. This monitor includes stat potassium tests ordered as part of a panel and excludes stat potassium levels that are requested on body fluids other than blood, as part of timed or protocol studies, or after the specimen arrives in the laboratory. Performance Indicator • Stat Test TAT Outlier Rate (%)

Performance Breakdowns • Breakdown of Outliers by Shift (%) • Breakdown of Outliers by Day of Week (%)




Q-TRACKS

Critical Values Reporting QT10 Laboratories commonly refer to critical values as results requiring immediate notification to the physician or caregiver for necessary patient evaluation or treatment. Recent regulations from agencies and accreditors such as the CMS, The Joint Commission, and the CAP (GEN.20316, 20365, 41320) mandate that laboratories develop and implement an alert system for critical values. Use this monitor to document compliance with your laboratory’s alert plan. Objective Evaluate the documentation of successful critical values reporting of general chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analytes for both inpatients and outpatients according to the laboratory’s policy. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will evaluate 120 inpatient and 120 outpatient critical values. Data collection will include general chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analytes on the critical values list. Retrospectively, participants will record the total number of critical values monitored and the number with documentation of successful notification. This monitor will exclude critical values for microbiology, cardiac markers, drugs of abuse, therapeutic drug levels, urinalysis, blood gases, point-of-care tests, tests performed at reference laboratories, and critical values on discharged patients. Performance Indicators • Total Critical Values Reporting Rate (%) • Inpatient Critical Values Reporting Rate (%) • Outpatient Critical Values Reporting Rate (%)

Turnaround Time of Troponin QT15 The swiftness with which physicians establish diagnoses of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain may determine the type and predict the outcome of therapy those patients will receive. Included in the total time consumed in establishing diagnoses of AMI are the component intervals required to measure biochemical markers of myocardial injury. One of the most critical biochemical markers is troponin. Help meet CAP Checklist requirement GEN.20316 with this monitor. Objective Determine the median order-to-report turnaround time (TAT) of troponin (I or T) and the percent of troponin results reported by each institution’s established deadline. Data Collection Participants will record TATs (in minutes) for three randomly selected troponin specimens obtained from patients seen in EDs on each of three traditional shifts (total of nine measurements) on six predetermined days per month. They will measure TATs from the time the tests are ordered to the time that results are made available to ED personnel. Performance Indicators • Median Troponin Order-to-Report TAT (minutes) • Troponin TAT Compliance Rate (%)

Q-TRACKS

Corrected Results QT16 The CAP developed this Q-TRACKS monitor in recognition of the importance of timely detection and correction of erroneous laboratory results. Accuracy in laboratory results is critical to the effectiveness of a physician’s plan of care for a patient. An erroneous result can delay or alter patient treatment; therefore, detection of erroneous results should be a priority in every laboratory and should be monitored as a key quality indicator. Help measure your compliance with CLIA 493.1299, Postanalytic Systems Quality Assessment, with this monitor. Objective Monitor the number of corrected test results within individual institutions and compare performance with that of all institutions and those institutions similar to yours. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will monitor the number of corrected test results and the total number of billable tests for that month. Include test results for all patients in all care settings with the following exclusions: anatomic pathology tests, narrative physician-interpreted tests (eg, bone marrow biopsies and peripheral smear reports), and point-of-care tests. Performance Indicator • Test Result Correction Rate (per 10,000 billable tests)

Outpatient Order Entry Errors QT17 Order accuracy bears an obvious relationship to the quality of laboratory testing. When the laboratory fails to complete a requested test, it delays the diagnostic evaluation, potentially extending a patient’s hospital stay and prolonging therapy. When the laboratory completes a test that was not requested, the cost of care increases, patients may be subjected to unnecessary phlebotomy, and laboratory efficiency declines. Objective Measure the incidence of incorrectly interpreted and entered outpatient physician test orders into the laboratory computer, compare performance across institutions, and track performance over time. Data Collection On six preselected weekdays per month, participants will compare eight outpatient requisitions or order sheets to the orders entered into the laboratory’s information system to determine if any order entry errors occurred. Order entry error categories include requesting physician errors; incorrect, missing, and extra test errors; test priority errors; and nonroutine routing request errors. This monitor excludes tests performed in transfusion medicine/blood bank or anatomic pathology. This monitor also excludes tests from the following patient care settings: inpatient, ED, ambulatory surgery, urgent care, chest pain center, 23hour short-stay facility, employee health department, outpatient screening fair/promotion, and dialysis center. Performance Indicators • Outpatient Order Entry Error Rate (%) • Order Entry Error Rates by Type (%)

Performance Breakdown • Breakdown of Error Types (%)




Q-TRACKS

Specimen Acceptability in Blood Bank QT18 Appropriate collection and labeling of patient specimens are essential for accurate specimen analysis and reporting of test results. Mislabeling of blood bank specimens can result in catastrophic outcomes when patients receive incompatible red blood cells. Accrediting agencies, such as AABB and the CAP (TRM.30550, 30575), require monitoring of key specimen quality issues and demonstration of a system for continual process improvement. This Q-TRACKS monitor will help you to meet these requirements and will allow you to compare your performance to your peers. Objective Identify and characterize incorrectly collected and labeled blood specimens submitted to the blood bank for testing. Data Collection On a weekly basis, participants will record the total number of specimens submitted to the blood bank, the number of rejected specimens, and the primary reason for specimen rejection. Participants will provide weekly numbers of ABO/Rh typing results discrepant from the historical record. Performance Indicators • Specimen Rejection Rate (%) • ABO/Rh Discrepancy Rate (%)

By monitoring this correlation, the laboratory can identify potential problems that require improvement, thereby ensuring better patient results. Objective Quantify the correlation between the findings of cervicovaginal cytology and corresponding histologic material. Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will record information on true-positive, false-positive, and false-negative cytology-biopsy correlations. The false-negative correlations will be classified into four error categories: screening errors, interpretive errors, screening and interpretive errors, and adequacy determination errors. Participants will also record the biopsy diagnoses for Pap tests with an interpretation of atypical squamous cells (ASC-US and ASC-H) or atypical glandular cells (AGC). This monitor includes patients for whom a cervical biopsy specimen is submitted to the laboratory and for whom a satisfactory or satisfactory but limited Pap test has been submitted within three months previous to the biopsy or at the time of the biopsy. Performance Indicators • Predictive Value of Positive Cytology (%) • Sensitivity (%) • Screening/Interpretation Sensitivity (%) • Sampling Sensitivity (%) • Percent Positive for ASC-US Interpretations • Percent Positive for ASC-H Interpretations • Percent Positive for AGC Interpretations




Q-MONITORS

Q-MONITORS Customized Quality Monitoring Program Monitoring of Troponin Metrics for Chest Pain Centers QM1

New

Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain must be evaluated quickly. Rapid serum troponin measurement is an important part of ED practice that can provide decisive information for patient management. Reducing delays in troponin testing has been reported to result in shorter length of stay in the ED and more rapid initiation of antiischemic treatment. Chest pain centers should therefore have effective procedures for ensuring optimal turnaround time (TAT) for troponin and a process for ongoing monitoring to ensure that performance meets expectations. Participants will monitor two to eight metrics required by the Society of Chest Pain Centers (Cycle IV: Key Element 4.4.0.0) and monitor the CMS requirement (Measure OP-16) for troponin turnaround time of 60 minutes or less when measured from patient arrival to result availability. Objective Help meet the CMS and Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC) quality performance requirements for monitoring ED troponin TAT and meeting timeliness goals. Data collection Select a sample of patients in whom troponin is measured and record time points for certain actions in the testing process. These times include patient arrival, test order, specimen collection, laboratory receipt, and result availability. Participants will select which metrics to monitor, with the option to monitor all metrics. Participants will also complete a questionnaire about clinical and laboratory practices related to troponin testing. SCPC Metrics Main Laboratory Troponin Testing at least one of the following: • Patient arrival to result availability • Specimen collection to result availability • Test order to result availability and at least one of the following: • Patient arrival to test order • Test order to specimen collection • Specimen collection to laboratory receipt • Laboratory receipt to result availability Point-of-Care Troponin Testing • Specimen collection to result availability (required) • Patient arrival to result availability (optional) Performance indicators • Median TAT for troponin testing intervals (monthly) • Test order to result availability compliance rate (if applicable) • Specimen collection to result availability compliance rate (if applicable) Reports Participants will receive benchmarking, as compared to all institutions, for specimen collection to result availability turnaround time. A report will be provided on a quarterly basis for compliance with Chest Pain Center key element 4.4.0.0; ED Baseline Troponin Turn-Around-Time Metrics.

Completeness of Cancer Reporting QM2

New

In 2004, the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer introduced Standard 4.6 for accredited Cancer Centers pertaining to pathology reports. The Commission required that at least 90% of cancer resection reports contain all of the required data elements defined by the CAP Cancer Protocols. The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program contains a similar requirement (ANP.12350). The Joint Commission standards for medical staff MS.4.15 and MS.4.40 stipulate that medical staff members undergo Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) more often than every year, and completeness of cancer reporting has been suggested as one measure suitable for OPPE. Finally, the CMS pay-for-performance standards for pathologists provided incentives for the inclusion of specific elements in colon, breast, and prostate cancer reports (H.R. 6111). This ongoing quality performance measure can be used to assess whether departments are in compliance with standards related to cancer reporting. The data may also be subcategorized by individual pathologist for use in ongoing professional practice evaluations. Objective Determine the adequacy of cancer reporting. Data Collection To achieve the Commission on Cancer Center designation, the lesser of 75 cases or 10% of cancer reports must be reviewed each quarter for adequacy. For other laboratories, a minimum of 30 cases per quarter is required for evaluation. Institutions may optionally collect data for individual pathologists to be used for ongoing professional practice evaluations. Reports will be evaluated for the presence of all CAP-required data elements, as specified in the CAP Cancer Checklists, and the use of synoptic format. Performance Indicators • Primary: o Percent of reports that include all CAP-required data elements o Percent of reports using a synoptic format • Secondary: (optional) o Percent of reports that include all CAP-required elements, stratified by individual pathologist code



LMIP

LMIP Laboratory Management Index Program Manage your laboratory more effectively with LMIP—The Laboratory Management Index Program (LMIP), an effective fiscal management tool, offers a valuable peer comparison of your laboratory’s performance. LMIP can help you with the annual budget process, contract negotiations, and daily operations management. With more than 10 years of experience and the largest laboratory participant database, LMIP is the best management resource for health care professionals charged with decision-making responsibilities. Using management ratios as performance indicators, LMIP extends beyond traditional analysis of productivity and staffing to focus on the most important factors affecting laboratory performance: • Productivity—How effectively are you using your laboratory personnel? • Utilization—How do your test-ordering patterns compare to those of your peers? • Cost-effectiveness—How efficiently are you using your supplies, equipment, and labor? With LMIP’s statistically valid method of peer grouping (fingerprint clustering), you receive the most meaningful comparisons. These comparisons allow you, your colleagues, and your administration to make informed and realistic decisions about staffing, budgets, and other performance targets. Achieving quality test results involves more than just ensuring properly conducted tests. Understanding financial factors that drive laboratory processes enhances your confidence in the management decisions you make. Ultimately, these decisions will guide your organization to deliver superior patient care.

CAP Accreditation

50

Celebrating years of collaboration, commitment, and quality Today, the principles of laboratory accreditation compose our professional culture: Work together. Share knowledge. Learn from our peers. Test each other. Collaborate to maintain quality and compliance. Improve practices and processes. Support the delivery of the finest possible health care. It wasn’t always this way; laboratory accreditation wasn’t always at the foundation of our industry. It emerged as an idea, took root in practice, grew through mutual experience, and matured into the permanent yet ever-evolving influence it is today. Our dynamic achievement took people—committed, inquisitive, meticulous people like you and all the hardworking pathologists and laboratory professionals who came before you. Thank you for advancing a tradition of excellence that began at the CAP 50 years ago with the inception of laboratory accreditation.

CAP Accreditation

50

Celebrating years of collaboration, commitment, and quality Today, the principles of laboratory accreditation compose our professional culture: Work together. Share knowledge. Learn from our peers. Test each other. Collaborate to maintain quality and compliance. Improve practices and processes. Support the delivery of the finest possible health care. It wasn’t always this way; laboratory accreditation wasn’t always at the foundation of our industry. It emerged as an idea, took root in practice, grew through mutual experience, and matured into the permanent yet ever-evolving influence it is today. Our dynamic achievement took people—committed, inquisitive, meticulous people like you and all the hardworking pathologists and laboratory professionals who came before you. Thank you for advancing a tradition of excellence that began at the CAP 50 years ago with the inception of laboratory accreditation.

Product Usage and Materials • All products are intended for proficiency testing (PT) use only. • You may not transfer or incorporate PT samples, their progeny, unmodified derivatives, or modifications thereof into a product intended for sale. • When you dispose of PT samples, their progeny, unmodified derivatives, or modifications thereof, reagents, and disposable equipment used in proficiency testing, you should autoclave or incinerate and dispose of these as hazardous waste. • All directions concerning use of the product are intended as guidance only. • No license is either granted or implied by the sale of any product. • The CAP contracts with several vendors in producing the materials for its proficiency testing programs. All vendors so selected must abide by the standards set forth in Good Manufacturing Practices and/or hold an ISO certification. Laboratory Accident Hotline 800-443-3244 847-470-2812 (for international customers) Accidental exposures while processing specimens from the CAP, including cuts and contamination of mucous membranes or non-intact skin, should be reported to the CAP hotline for evaluation and questions regarding prophylaxis. Please provide the identification number of the relevant specimen. Biohazard Information/Warning Statements • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified all bacterial and viral strains used in PT challenges as not greater than a Biosafety Level 2. You can find a full description of Biosafety Level 2 handling requirements, as defined by the CDC Office of Health and Safety in Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, at cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/. • All Surveys include a biohazard warning statement appropriate for handling of the material. • Surveys that do not include etiologic agents are still expected to be handled in keeping with CDC universal precautions and OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules. Shipping • All shipments are made CPT Destination. • The CAP is not liable for loss or damage caused by force majeure. • Provide a complete shipping address, telephone number, fax number, email address, and contact name on your order form. • The CAP will not accept post office box numbers for product shipments. • Most proficiency testing shipments will be sent via overnight or two-day service. Prelicensure/Reinstatement Service • The CAP provides PT samples to laboratories that may need to perform prelicensure testing before beginning patient testing and/or reinstatement testing due to PT failures. • PT samples with limited stability are not available for prelicensure/reinstatement testing. Contact the CAP for cost and availability. • Reinstatement evaluations will be provided upon submission of results to the CAP.

The CAP’s terms and conditions supercede any terms and conditions supplied by the customer.




CMS Reporting • The College of American Pathologists must submit PT results to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for all laboratories providing a CLIA identification number. • Your reporting preferences are outlined on the CMS Analyte Reporting Selections document, which is available online in e-LAB Solutions. • If a laboratory does not notify the CAP in advance that they have discontinued testing of a regulated analyte, a score of zero will be given. • To avoid any penalties and ensure appropriate reporting in the future, you must note analytes listed on this report for which you do not perform testing. PT Referral Please share this information with anyone who performs and/or manages PT specimens. Proficiency testing referral has come under greater scrutiny from inspectors for the CMS. The CAP’s PT Program reminds participants that per CLIA ’88, a laboratory must test the PT specimens it receives in the same manner as it tests patient specimens—specimens must be tested with the laboratory’s regular workload, using the laboratory’s routine methods, and the same number of times it routinely tests patient specimens. However, laboratories must not communicate results, share proficiency testing specimens, or refer proficiency testing specimens to a laboratory with a different CLIA number for tests not on the laboratory’s menu even if the referral for testing is routinely performed for patient specimens.

Information for International and Noncontinental US Customers

Additional Information for International and Noncontinental US Customers What you need to know before your PT product is shipped: Permits Many countries require import permits or certificates of origin for customs clearance (regardless of hazard status of a product). • Work with your local authorities to determine if any permits are required. • As a recipient, you are responsible for obtaining any import permits/documents and forwarding these to the CAP for inclusion with the product shipment. Provide these same documents to your broker or the local Federal Express (FedEx) office. • Use product descriptions in the CAP catalog to prevent discrepancies in permit preparation and customs clearance documents. • Products with hazardous materials may require special permits and incur additional charges. • You are responsible for monitoring permit expiration dates and submitting a new permit. • Products will not ship without required documentation. Submit permits at the time of ordering, preferably with an extended expiration date of December 31, 2012, in order to cover all shipments. At a minimum, submit permits six weeks prior to the stated product ship date to ensure timely delivery. Hawaiian Permits The state of Hawaii requires import permits. You may obtain an import permit by contacting the Plant Quarantine Branch of the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture. Complete form PQ-7 to obtain an import permit or a letter of authorization. Canadian Permits Canadian regulations require permits to import animal and human pathogens. Permit applications should list the CAP product code and full product name. Do not list the Product Fulfillment Group (PFG). Do not list the mailing designation (A, B, C). These permits must be obtained by the recipient for all infectious modules from: • The Public Health Agency of Canada (Send email to [email protected].) • The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) (Send email to [email protected] or contact by phone at 613-221-7068.) Certain products require permits for one or both of the above agencies. Contact these agencies for details. Canadian Broker Requirements Canadian customers must designate a broker for customs clearance. FedEx may be designated as your broker by signing a Power of Attorney with FedEx. Provide your Goods and Services Tax (GST) account number and CFIA number to your designated broker. Requesting Pre-Arrivals Release System (PARS) clearance will expedite clearance of your proficiency testing kits. Saudi Arabian Permits Current Saudi Food and Drug Authority regulations require import permits for all products. You may obtain permits through the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. Submit permits to the CAP and your local FedEx office.

Customers are liable for all costs and expenses related to the return of shipments to the CAP or its designated packagers, if the reason for such return is late product cancellation, shipment refusal, or invalid ship-to address. If a special or hazardous material shipping and handling charge is required for your order, the additional fee referenced above will be waived. The CAP bases the calculation of the hazardous material shipping and handling charge upon the method of product delivery designated for your country. The charge is $370 USD per shipment to ship via freight forwarder airport-toairport, $195 USD per shipment to ship airport-to-airport via courier, or $85 USD per shipment to ship door-to-door via courier. Brokerage fees are not included in shipments via freight forwarder. The following paper/online products are NOT subject to shipping and handling charges:

Carriers The CAP will send all 2012 proficiency testing program shipments via Federal Express. In select instances the CAP must use a freight forwarder to ship products to your destination. If this is the case, the CAP will contact you regarding additional fees. If your organization is specifically requesting shipment via a freight forwarder at your expense, provide the CAP with your final shipment address and the freight forwarder’s US domestic address and contact information. Tax Identification Number Provide the CAP with your federal tax identification number if your country requires that number be listed on the commercial invoice. Special Requirements Discuss any special shipping requirements or updates with the CAP Customer Contact Center staff. Communicate all requests for special shipping arrangements to the CAP a minimum of six weeks prior to the stated product ship date.

Please note that replacements are not available for products with limited stability. Survey materials that are liquid are shipped with frozen cold packs or dry ice and need to be kept cold as much as possible. If transportation to your location cannot meet these conditions, note that replacements will not be available. If the CAP accredits your international laboratory, please review options for addressing issues with material instability with the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program staff.

Dry Ice Some shipments are packed on dry ice to maintain product stability. Dry ice shipments are shipped as UN1845 dangerous goods shipment. Due to sublimation, there may not be any dry ice present when you open your kit. This is not an indication that the product has been compromised. If your country does not allow dry ice shipments, your Surveys will be packaged with cool packs that may not be as effective in maintaining a cool environment. When you receive your shipment, follow the kit storage instructions as soon as possible.

Important information once your PT product arrives in your country: Local Arrangements The CAP recommends you contact the carriers in your country to discuss delivery requirements. You may need to complete a power of attorney (POA) or identify your broker for customs clearance. Establish an account with the appropriate carrier(s) to expedite delivery by allowing the carrier to charge duties and taxes directly to your account. Duties and Taxes • Duties and import taxes imposed by countries outside of the United States are the responsibility of the customer and cannot be waived by the CAP. • Shipments are processed CPT Destination. Commercial Invoice Commercial invoices are affixed to packages as required by international shipping conventions. The commercial invoice is an official transaction record between an exporter and an importer. Customs officials use this form to clear your shipment. The invoice total listed on the commercial invoice is not an amount due to the CAP or your country. The invoice total is listed for the purpose of computing duties and taxes. Delivery CAP products are shipped door-to-door service whenever possible. In instances where your country does not allow delivery to your door, the CAP can only arrange shipment to an airport. In these instances you will be notified when a product has been cleared and is ready for pickup. You must pick up your shipment at that point. If you refuse to pick up your shipment, your order for any remaining shipments may be canceled. Carrier Contact Carriers or customs officials may attempt to contact you if there are issues regarding clearing your shipment. Please respond to these requests for additional information as soon as possible. Contact the CAP if you need additional product information to expedite clearance. If you fail to respond to information requests from carriers and customs officials, the following may occur: • Your organization may incur additional charges for storage and management fees. • You may incur additional fees due to disposal or return of your shipment.
