Off-Schedule PT

Off-schedule proficiency testing (PT) provides laboratories with immediate, on-demand, customized proficiency testing for reinstatement or remedial purposes; a complement to the regularly scheduled PT program.

Who Needs Off-Schedule Testing?

Laboratories with unsuccessful performance (score of less than 80%) for two out of three regular testing events may be required to perform off-schedule PT to lift a “cease-testing” order from their regulatory or accrediting agency. In these cases, two acceptable proficiency performances (score of 80% or better) may be required for the lab to resume testing patients.

This service is available to every laboratory, regardless of MLE enrollment status.

For information on cost and availability, contact MLE Customer Service at 800-338-2746, option 5, or e-mail us at mle@acponline.org.
