Dear Sir/Madam:

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is conducting a study to improve the usefulness of laboratory practice guidelines (LPGs) that address fingerstick glucose testing procedures. As a facility that may potentially perform point-of-care fingerstick glucose testing, you have been selected to receive this survey. This survey should be completed by the individual at your site who is responsible for developing your fingerstick glucose testing procedures.

A link to the survey will be distributed by e-mail within the next 4 –6 weeks. Participation in this study is voluntary and responses will be anonymous. CLSI will collect and analyze the data and share with CDC. By responding to this survey, you can provide information that will help CLSI improve the usefulness of its laboratory practice guidelines that address fingerstick glucose testing procedures; with an overall goal to improve the quality of care provided to all patients in any health care setting.

Upon completing the survey, all respondents will be provided with a link to select a single electronic copy of a CLSI guideline related to fingerstick glucose testing (a $130 value).

Thank you for your help with this important study.
