CAP Interlaboratory Comparison Program

The CAP Interlaboratory Comparison Program is a quality assurance initiative that allows medical laboratories to evaluate their testing accuracy and reliability. Participating labs receive samples to test, and their results are compared against a benchmark or consensus value. This process helps identify discrepancies in testing methods, ensuring that laboratories provide accurate and consistent results for patient care. By participating, labs can improve their practices, maintain accreditation standards, and ultimately enhance the quality of healthcare services they deliver.
