LKSchroed Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 We always split up the BB survey to five different techs and the educational sample to a sixth. Inspectors have no problem with that. You can even get more involved by having other techs do the survey after the due date and your results have been submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amym1586 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Do you have to sign up or the educational challenge or the dry lab challenge ? I see it mentioned on the instructions but didn't get shipped with my survey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansket Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes you do have to order it and it is not free. amym1586 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I have been splitting up all my surveys between techs for the last couple of years. Each tech is assigned one red cell specimen and its corresponding serum specimen. The tech completes "ALL" the testing necessary for that one "patient". If it is the automated survey, 5 different techs each are assigned 1 of the samples. Not only does this share the wealth, but it shows competency in performing unknowns. DAT's and Fetal Hemoglobins are treated in the same manner just with fewer techs. Then I rotate the surveys that the techs receive. Sometimes the tech gets lucky and has a negative ab screen so their testing is short and sweet and then sometimes they get to play detective because their ab screen is positive so they get to determine which ab it is.

amym1586 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Is there a rule about giving previous CAP surveys as unknowns for competency ? Do you have to wait until the results are back from CAP before doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to wait until after the date that the results are due with your proficiency tester. It might be several more weeks until you receive the results. amym1586 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have traditionally assigned this to one individual to perform all testing. The question is: Can we split this survey to test five different techs by assigning one specimen to one tech? We've been debating this. Has this happened at your facility? How did your inspectors look on this action? We'll accept all opinions! Thanks That is what I do, I split the survey and give to 5 different techs. Not only does this keep one person from performing all of the survey, but it can also be used to show competence where it applies to technical skills. My last survey team liked the idea of splitting it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
