ASHI is pleased to announce the 8th year of its comprehensive proficiency testing program.
- Our program utilizes the exchange of clinical-based samples to assess a laboratory’s ability to accurately perform its analyses. These specimens are characterized by recognized experts in histocompatibility testing with oversight by ASHI’s Proficiency Testing Committee.
- The 2010 ASHI Proficiency Testing Program will maintain its current survey categories, designed to emulate routine clinical testing: HLA Typing, HLA-B27 Detection, Engraftment Monitoring, and Antibody Screening/Crossmatching.
- Modular configuration of the surveys provides flexibility and cost savings.
- The 2010 surveys feature a user-friendly data submission Web site that makes the results entry easily executable.
- ASHI has developed a comprehensive web-based program including a design for summary reports. This year’s reports will present data in a concise and informative fashion, with emphasis on the educational goals of the ASHI Proficiency Testing Program.
- As always, the program is designed to fully meet the latest ASHI standards for laboratory accreditation.
- ASHI is approved by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) as an alternative proficiency testing program provider for the HLA Typing, HLA-B27 Detection, and Antibody Screening/Crossmatching surveys. If your laboratory is accredited by CAP, ASHI is able to report your ASHI PT Survey Results directly to CAP. For further information, please contact Cecilia Blair at the ASHI central office at .
If you are a new lab and have not registered before, please contact Cecilia Blair at the ASHI central office at .
