[Histonet] RE: CAP Annual Results Comparison for FISH/ISH

[Terri Braud]

Try calling CAP.  They provided the benchmarks we use for our annual
statistics for ER/PR.  I don't have the recent CAP checklist handy, but
on the 9.25.2012 checklist, the benchmarks for ER/PR are published in
the notes section of the question. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Terri

Subject: [Histonet] CAP Annual Results Comparison for FISH/ISH
Would fellow Histonetters be able to explain how they answer the
following CAP question:
ANP.22970 For immunohistochemical and FISH/ISH tests that provide
independent predictive information, the laboratory at least annually
compares its patient results with published benchmarks, and evaluates
interobserver variability among the pathologists in the laboratory.
Where would one even find published benchmarks?  Thank you
