Proficiency Testing (PT) Management
Track PT events from arrival to submission — without missed deadlines
RAP Simplified’s Proficiency Testing Management feature gives laboratories a structured, end-to-end way to track every proficiency test from the moment it arrives in the lab through assignment, completion, and submission.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets, email reminders, or memory, labs gain real-time visibility into PT status, ownership, and deadlines — ensuring nothing is missed.

- Record deadlines, notes, and key instructions
- Upload PT documents and supporting files
- Assign PT events to specific staff members
- Automatic staff notifications upon assignment
- Status updates as work begins and progresses
- Mark PTs as completed and ready for submission
Real-Time Visibility Into PT Status & Progress
RAP Simplified gives lab leaders and supervisors instant insight into:
- Which PTs are newly received
- Which are in progress
- Which are completed and awaiting submission
- Which are approaching deadlines
This visibility ensures:
- No missed PT deadlines
- Clear accountability for each PT event
- Faster follow-up when action is needed
Digital Shift Report

Meet Melissa
Meet Melissa: Melissa is a diligent supervisor tasked with ensuring that all maintenance and daily tasks are completed and signed off at the end of each shift. In addition to daily oversight, she must review these records monthly and annually to confirm there are no missed tasks. When tasks are incomplete, she is responsible for reviewing the situation, implementing corrective actions, and ensuring proper documentation is completed. This ongoing responsibility demands attention to detail and efficient processes to keep operations running smoothly.
