Beatrice,
How do you show proof to CAP that your employees that use the procedures and perform the tasks described in the procedures have reviewed and understand the procedure when there is a new one during your cycle year and before it is implemented?
CAP has changed the way they inspect and they are now looking for how whether the employees performing a task described in the procedure understands the procedure and is performing exactly as the procedure describes. They are not as concerned that the Supervisor and management knows about the procedures, they want to see how informed, trained and competent the bench employee is.

I was curious if anyone has ever used the Flashcards based on the Carson book to prepare for the registry exam and if so, if you recommend them or not? I have the Board of Registry Study Guide, but was thinking of additional materials to have on hand for when I start to prepare for the registry exam. I'm currently in school and plan to graduate in June and would like to take my exam soon after. Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!

Hi Friends,
What type of floor surface would you pick if you could design your own histology lab?
I was walking through Costco the other night and noticed theirs is just concrete. Compensating for leg fatigue on the Assistants who have to stand, I'm thinking this type of surface might be easiest to keep clean. What do you think about just concrete? Would there need to be a paraffin scrape nightly? Would that be enough? If paraffin is tracked in the morning will this type of floor be slippy (Pittsburgh slang) by 3pm?
What flooring do you have and what drawbacks and advantages do you see with it?
Many thanks and no skids!

I used them to take my HTL exam. I found them quite helpful because not
only do they give you the correct answer, but they explain why it is
correct and why the others are not.
Good Luck.

When there is a change or new procedure made part of the existing manual it
is noted on a separate sheet designated for this. After this new or changed
procedure is signed off by the Medical Director it is given to the rest of
the department to read. This is initialed by each person on that sheet.
These sheets are within the manuals.

Hi Rebecca,
We built a Pathology lab from scratch last year and this was a question
that we explored when deciding on flooring materials. We ended up
choosing poured epoxy (with rubberized compounds embedded) over
concrete. The floor is seamless, wax and slip and stain resistant, and
very easy to keep clean. We do a minimum of scrapping a the end of each
day. At the end of a year, the floor has stood up extremely well and
looks great. It costs a little more up front but you end up saving in
the costs of keeping it clean and wax free and in replacement costs. It
is estimated that we will not have to look at replacing it for at least
10 years.
Steve

Thanks, I am aware of Peggy's form. We have similar hard copy forms now, but we are moving to an electronic system. It will be much more manageable for 125 employees.
When you state in your form the employee is competent, do you have documentation to support that there was a competency evaluation? We only state the employee has read and understands. We have separate documentation for training and competency.
I love this type of discussion string. There are so many different processes out in Histoland.
Do others document separately the original creation, training, competency, implementation of procedures/processes and then continual yearly training, competency and review of those processes? Are you using a Quality Management System? How about Electronic system to manage?

Hi William,
Our competency evaluation is done once a year as part of the employee's annual evaluation. I don't actually have each employee perform the procedure as part of the documentation, although................. hmmmm, maybe an in-service to discuss the new procedure with all employees?
I agree with you about discussing things on Histonet, I have found it to be a lifesaver on more than one occasion (OK, so maybe that's a little dramatic, but you get the point) :)

Thanks, I am aware of Peggy's form. We have similar hard copy forms now, but we are moving to an electronic system. It will be much more manageable for 125 employees.
When you state in your form the employee is competent, do you have documentation to support that there was a competency evaluation? We only state the employee has read and understands. We have separate documentation for training and competency.
I love this type of discussion string. There are so many different processes out in Histoland.
Do others document separately the original creation, training, competency, implementation of procedures/processes and then continual yearly training, competency and review of those processes? Are you using a Quality Management System? How about Electronic system to manage?

Does anyone use Toluidine blue to stain parathyroids when they come in fresh for a frozen section? One of our pathologist heard of this and I am not familiar with it. I have heard of it with the Paragon stain, but not certain what percentage would be needed if only Toluidine blue was used.
Thanks ahead of time and Happy Holidays!!
