We switched from CAP to TJC about 3 years ago. Proficiency is the same.
Order from CAP per usual. TJC recognizes CAP as an accrediting agency and
peer. I have not seen a down side. I have on the other hand seen an up
side to the TJC Lab inspection. You are no longer being inspected by your
peers, who sometimes lose perspective of the regulations and try to make
you a mirror image of there institute. Or you may get inspectors who have
just gone through a bad inspection and take it out on you. I have seen
this done before. When we were CAP and inspected hospitals, our group
always tried to make it a learning experience for both parties. I just
had my 2nd TJC inspection in March. The inspector was wonderful, very
knowledgeable and more than welling to share. Best inspection I've ever
had.

[Histonet] JAHCO vs. CAP
We are having a discussion about switching our inspection process form
CAP to JAHCO. One of our questions is, can we still participate in the
proficiency testing through CAP> If anyone has done this can you explain
the process and the upside and the down side.
Thanks
