When you transmit quantitative proficiency testing (PT) results directly to the CAP, less equals more. Less time manually entering results and more time for patient testing.
CAP’s Direct transmission provides faster and more accurate PT result reporting by enabling laboratories to electronically transmit quantitative results from their laboratory information system (LIS) or using Data Innovations® Instrument ManagerTM. This complimentary service is available for all participants currently enrolled in our PT programs.
