The South-Eastern Organ Procurement Foundation uses a quarterly proficiency test for HLA typing labs. A computer program aids scoring, ensuring consistent grading based on participant consensus.

Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Laboratory Science

Background:

  • Proficiency testing is crucial for maintaining quality in clinical laboratories.
  • Accurate Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing is essential for organ transplantation success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the proficiency testing program for HLA typing laboratories.
  • To evaluate the utility of a computer program in scoring these tests.

Main Methods:

  • Quarterly administration of a proficiency test to participating HLA typing laboratories.
  • Grading based on the consensus of participant-submitted HLA typing values.
  • Implementation of a computer program to assist in the scoring process.

Main Results:

  • The computer program facilitates efficient and objective scoring of HLA typing proficiency tests.
