PM5 – see list, varies by year
* CAP PAP Educational Programs are intended for laboratories that are NOT subject to US regulations that
perform gynecologic Cytopathology.
** Laboratories are expected to enroll in the HistoQIP program that best suits their service (tissues / stains
offered). The BX program is limited to H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin) stain only and does not offer special or IHC
stains. The Specialty Series includes modules for specialty histology laboratories (gastrointestinal, dermatologic
and urologic tract).
&
Laboratories are expected to enroll in all applicable immunohistochemistry and predictive marker surveys based
on their scope of service.
&&
Each year the PM5 program will offer different IHC markers to evaluate assay performance on a variety of
tissues and / or tumor types (see CAP Survey Catalogue for detailed listing)
#
All facilities utilizing automated instruments for TM testing must subscribe to the CAP JAT program. These
laboratories are also required to subscribe to the J program surveys to monitor the manual method used in the
laboratory for crossmatch and/or manual back-up testing.
All of the above programs will be offered in SI units where appropriate. Participants will receive
directions from CAP regarding SI unit data entry.
Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Under the Auspices of the Laboratory:
Specific EQA programs are not mandated for POCT other than the ##Blood Gas programs specified above.
The CPSA Standards; however, require that appropriate external quality assessment (EQA) activities are
performed for ALL POCT (G.11.11.4). This includes participation in a formal EQA program where available or
in the absence of a formal EQA program, in an internal quality assessment scheme involving the distribution of
samples or replication of the examination within the laboratory.
