  • Title: Role of proficiency survey in blood bank quality control.
    Author: Harrison CR.
    Journal: J Fla Med Assoc; 1993 Jan; 80(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 8436936.
    Abstract:
    The College of American Pathologists' blood bank proficiency survey program began in 1964 and has expanded to a variety of surveys addressing the needs of transfusion services, blood centers and physician office laboratories. Its role has evolved from a purely voluntary educational tool for self-improvement to fulfilling the regulatory requirement of CLIA '88. Its educational component will persist through an ungraded technical portion in association with a supplemental questionnaire and a survey critique.
