Proficiency testing (PT) is a critical quality assurance tool that ensures laboratory accuracy and reliability by comparing test results with established standards. Improper handling of PT—especially through unauthorized referral to external labs—can lead to regulatory sanctions, making it essential for lab directors, supervisors, and staff to understand and comply with PT referral rules.

Accurate coagulation testing starts with proper specimen preparation. Even small pre-analytic errors, such as underfilled tubes, hemolysis, or improper centrifugation, can compromise results and patient care.
