[Histonet] CAP guidelines

[Hector Hernandez]

I think everyone in the Histo world already does this. Example S1000-07 A1,
A2, etc.  No need to get excited about this question.  The two identifiers
are the surgical# and any sub letter or number.

This is from the Sep 2007 checklist. 

ANP.21100             Phase II	N/A   YES   NO

Are blocks identified adequately?

NOTE:  Each block of tissue must be identified by the entire accession
number assigned to the case and by any descriptive letter(s)/number(s) added
by the prosector during the dissection.  If additional blocks are prepared
later, all lists and logs must reflect these additions.  Identification
number and letter(s)/numbers(s) must be affixed to all blocks in a manner
that remains legible.

Ok, Histonetters, got another burning question for you.  I have heard
that there is a new CAP guideline that states that there needs to be two
patient identifiers on the tissue block.  We have a block printer and we
all know that there is very limited space on the block for much info, so
if we need to have two patient identifiers things will get very tight.
For those of you who have block printers, how are you handling this?
All info and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
