Laboratory Performance Information Exchange System
CDC's Public Health Practice Program Office, Model Performance
Evaluation Program, invites laboratories to participate in its
recently enhanced, computer-based electronic information exchange
system. This system, called the Laboratory Performance
Information Exchange System (LPIES), was developed to improve
laboratory performance through retroviral and acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related testing problem
identification and resolution; electronic messages and
conferences for communication among laboratorians; electronic
collection and distribution of laboratory testing performance
evaluation data; and access to AIDS-related laboratory
information.
The electronic communication system can be accessed by calling
(800) 522-6388 ([800] LAB-NETT). For persons in countries other
than the United States, the telephone number is (919) 549-9109.
The system is compatible with most computers, modems, and
communications programs and protocols; no user fees or line
charges are incurred by the user.
Additional information is available from the LPIES system
manager, telephone (800) 322-4383 (in North Carolina, telephone
[919] 549-8330), or CDC's Public Health Practice Program Office,
telephone (404) 639-2137.
