I do not see how sending out stains that didn't work and the rework and would save time? Maybe I missed some point in the thread? I don't see how you could learn without this QC practice, even better if you can review under the microscope with a pathologist.

It is required here on everything. Joelle Weaver MAOM, HTL (ASCP) QIHC Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 17:50:47 -0500 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [Histonet] CAP Survey Question Hi, Regarding the question of weather it would save time to not have the techs QC check the IHC slides. I feel that it would be an extremely bad practice to omit the techs from the QC process. This goes for not only IHC but special stains and even H&E stains. It is imperative that the techs know what the slides they are submitting look like. It is possible for even a lowly tech to spot a problem before passing the slide on to a pathologist. And even pathologists are capable of missing something from time to time. This also educates the tech so that when a pathologist has a question about a stain he is not met with a blank stare. So CAP requirement or not it should be done anyway. Just my opinion, (But I'm right), Amos _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments contain confidential information that is legally privileged.
