[Histonet] TAT for frozens?

[Bonnie Whitaker]

Technically, it is a cap requirement that it be documented as to why the TAT
was greater than 20 minutes.  Nothing states that the TAT can't exceed 20
minutes.

Hello all,

I was wondering what folks are using as a benchmark for frozen section TAT.
Do you even have one?  We have always listed a 15 minute TAT for but we are
not always meeting it these days.  The 15 minutes is for single frozens.
