Hello Everyone, 
Could someone share with me a policy and a quiz for the provider-performed microscopy? I am in the process of improving our current process and would like to explore if there is a more efficient and effective approach.

Thank you,

Hi, if you email me at Jacob.Fray@dhha.org I can respond with my policies. 

Which PPM tests are you looking for?  We do Fern, Wet Prep, KOH and Occult Blood.  Let me know and I can send what we have.  miranda.cotter@mercy.net

for the group performing Provider Performed Microscopy in a hospital setting where independant providers see their patients and may perform a Fern Test on the unit, how do you determine who should have a competency completed if they aren't employees?

If they are doing testing under the Lab CLIA license, we make them complete a competency with us regardless.  If they don't complete, they aren't allowed to do testing.  We let them know that it is against regulations and if they try to do the testing without our knowledge/not reporting it, then that is fraudulent.

Hello all, If anyone would be kind enough to share any info for PPM"s. Quizzes, policies, competency. I am also in the process of updating what we have.
My email is nashaw@caremount.com.
Thank you very much. :) 

We perform Fern, KOH, and wet mounts. Thanks

Not sure if you already have this, but this is helpful.
