[Histonet] Tissue Carryover

[Vicki Gauch]

I apologize if this message is a repeat but I sent it two days ago and
didn't see if appear on my Histonet messages so I was worried that it
never went anywhere..In any case, here is my question..
 As part of our Quality Assurance program we have been looking at our
processes in Pathology and trying to identify areas of risk for our
department and in the discussion the issue of potential  tissue
carryover in both the grossing and embedding procedures came up.  I have
been asked to inquire how other institutions handle this issue as far as
prevention and what methods do you use to achieve that.  I would
appreciate any input on this as I have to report back to the group
regarding any information I receive.  
Thank you in advance for your help,
 Vicki Gauch
