Hazel,

Thanks for sharing the information about your CAP experience. With very few outside learning opportunities at our facility I always thought CAP inspections were a way of sharing information on tests, processes, etc. When I have been inspecting I feel rushed to get thru the packet and those learning moments don't happen because of the time constraints.

Congratulations to you and your team!

The inspector was very thorough.  And most of the questions he had were report related.   He asked for a report showing correlation of cytology results with histology results, a report showing the outside consultations are listed in the surg path report, evidence logs for cryostat decontamination, reports showing the cancer protocols are using synoptic format, records for the QC of antibodies, antibody validation logs, instrument service records, etc.

While most of those are not technically histology related, I had to find the records showing the policies/procedures are being followed.   

Overall we did well.   We were cited for proficiency testing a phase I.  Years ago we did the IHC surveys but stopped doing them because we lacked the antibodies most of the surveys asked for as we are children's hospital and most of them are geared toward adult diagnosis.    I just learned about the QIP program and I am excited for us to participate.  I am sorry I didn't know this survey existed.  We will participate again in the IHC surveys.

I appreciate the support I receive from the histonet and the information I receive here helps me have a better lab and be a better manager.

I responded to jw privately but want to show my support for Hazel or anyone else that is facing a CAP inspection.  I think Hazel and everyone that posts that CAP is in their institution is looking for moral support and I sent Hazel a message right away saying "Good luck".  I hope Hazel or anyone else posts how their inspection goes and lets the rest of us know any issues we should be on the look out for!~!!!!

We all know how trying it can be to be inspected!!!!  Just hit delete if you don't want to be friedly and show your support!!!

Wow, life is too short.  We don't have to take things so seriously all of the time.  I do hope your day gets better :-)

E-mails that tell all of what is happening, i.e. "CAP is in house" is a waste of time. Are we going to communicate when you wash your hands or have a cup of coffee.
If Histonet is to be a source of information, ASK a question
