A compulsory programme of proficiency testing in immunohaematology has been conducted for the last 4 years. The collection, processing and analysis of testing data reported by participating laboratories depends on a computer-based system, which allows the generation of reports for participants and working documents essential to the functioning of a committee which supervises the operation of the programme. The options open to the committee in coping with laboratories with poor performance are summarized.
An analysis of the results of a compulsory proficiency testing programme in immunohaematology is presented. Error rates have been calculated for the determination of ABO and Rh(D) groups, the direct antiglobulin test and antibody detection according to defined criteria. The introduction of proficiency testing has been associated with alterations in error rates for some determinations. An educational programme introduced for laboratories with poor performance has proved effective in improving their results in the proficiency testing programme.
