I use the CAP assessment as part of my overall competency tool in BB. We're a 275 bed hospital w/active heart and oncology programs. Usually there are 3 of us on days, with a rotating tech on afternoons and midnites. About 15 people are actually in the program. Yes, there is some complaining that the assessments cover areas we might not be doing (anticoagulants, preservatives for donor centers), but I think they need to have some understanding of these topics beyond what they learned in school. I allow them to use any texts, other sources, to complete the exams and require 70% as a passing grade. The CAP provides the ability to call reports and to actively monitor tech activity within the program (who's started, who's finished, what grade did they get?). It's not everything you need, but it fits in with the rest of my competency plan. I don't hand out wet samples, but I may give panel sheets, or some other "dry" antibody or other BB type problem. We've been on it for about a year now (chemistry only just started) and we like it.
