External Quality Control, continued
Validated material for the different testing areas in a laboratory (such as chemistry, hematology, and microbiology) are provided several times a year.
Participating laboratories test the specimens and return results to the proficiency testing source.
The laboratory's performance is then evaluated using the comparative method mean as the target value plus or minus a defined limit.
In general, the evaluation report will show:
number of laboratories comprising the peer group
comparative mean of the group for that particular analyte
the laboratory's performance compared to the peer group
whether the performance was satisfactory or unsatisfactory
