Performance Analytics Dashboard

The Performance Analytics Dashboard is a powerful tool that's effective for both single laboratories and expansive networks. It offers insights and performance monitoring while enabling data-driven decision-making to enhance laboratory quality, efficiency, and compliance.

This free web-based reporting solution delivers a concise view—updated daily—of your CAP proficiency testing/external quality assessment (PT/EQA) and accreditation performance.

Insights to Help Staff Ensure Compliance

• Quickly identify PT/EQA analytes in danger of a cease-testing notice via built-in at-risk filters.
• Recognize connections between PT/EQA failures and inspection deficiencies.
• Pinpoint recurring deficiencies and trends within and across disciplines.
• Prepare for accreditation inspections by reviewing past deficiencies, inspector comments, and your corrective actions.

Performance Monitoring in One Convenient Location

• Take immediate preventative action based on the dashboard's color-coded tiles to identify problematic performance that may lead to inaccurate patient test results.
• Access your PT/EQA result forms, evaluations, and participant summaries by mailing.
• Benchmark your laboratory's performance against your peers and the historical CAP-wide averages.
• Share the success of your laboratory with administration.

Data to Drive Decision-Making

• Quickly identify trends and patterns to make informed decisions.
• Save time pulling data with built-in PT/EQA and accreditation reports.
• Easily export data for further processing, analysis, or reporting.
• Provide effective reports to leadership for continued laboratory improvement.

Laboratory Networks: Bringing It All Together

For laboratory networks, the dashboard's system view provides a consolidated, concise view of the PT/EQA and accreditation performance for all your laboratories. The system view allows you to:

• Identify system-wide issues by section, discipline, or analyte.
• Ensure consistency in performance across all laboratories within the network.
• Benchmark performance against the overall system for individual laboratories or groups of laboratories.
• Export PT/EQA performance for quality review meetings using the Laboratory Summary Report.

The Performance Analytics Dashboard is available to all laboratories participating in CAP PT/EQA or accreditation programs. If you're a PT/EQA or accreditation customer, take a moment to test drive your dashboard with the resources below.
