I would just like to thank everyone for all of your comments regarding the high complexity testing issue. I obviously opened a can of worms on that one! I think I understand it a little better now as I have come to the following conclusion: Although CAP requires strict guidelines and documentation regarding optimization, validation, controls, lot testing and storage (all of which are done by a tech.), the end result is the reading of the slide by a pathologist, who gets the credit for the high complexity testing. All of our hard work that provides the slide to him/her is considered a high complexity "task" or specimen processing. If any of you are asked this question in the future I think you will all have a better understanding of how to answer. I'm most grateful for the input. Thanks again.
