1. A compliance monitor system, comprising:
a data tracking system with an operator tracking record configured to:
generate a plurality of attributes configured to assess a competency level of an operator to operate at least one sample testing instrument, wherein generating the plurality of attributes comprises selecting at least two attributes from the group consisting of:
a practical test on obtaining biological sample test results with the at least one sample testing instrument,
a practical test on quality control testing with the at least one sample testing instrument, and
a practical test on data entry and data handling with the at least one sample testing instrument;
set a compliance threshold for the at least one sample testing instrument;
obtain operator derived data pertaining to the operator's ability to operate the at least one sample testing instrument, wherein the operator derived data comprises at least two attribute test results obtained by the operator;
determine a compliance status of the operator for the plurality of attributes based on the obtained operator derived data;
determine the competency level of the operator for the at least one sample testing instrument based on a comparison of the compliance status of the operator to the set compliance threshold; and
communicate the competency level of the operator to the at least one sample testing instrument;
wherein the data tracking system comprises a testing result store configured to communicate in a mono-directional or bi-directional manner with the at least one sample instrument internal to the system such that the data tracking system obtains the operator derived data;
and wherein, the at least one sample testing instrument is further configured to receive the competency level of the operator, and lock the operator from further operating the at least one sample testing instrument when the competency level is non-compliant.
