[Histonet] CAP question

Wed Dec 2 15:32:18 CST 2009

Leads me to wonder how the VA gets away with using SS#s as identifiers!

I would strongly suggest not using the SS# as a second identifier. That is a piece of information the patient gave to the hospital but I am sure the patient would not like to see written in a cassette/slide for all to see (and copy). René J.

Yes, patient name, DOB or SS#  and the case number and such is "extra"

Don't we still need to follow through with two identifiers tho?

Keep in mind: 

The requirement states 2 patient identifiers at the time of collection

- so the identifiers need to come from the outside entities. 

My conversation with CAP - they are going for patient name, DOB, SS# or

medical record number of some sort that ties the hospital to the

clinician office. 

If the case number or med record number does not get joined until it

reaches your facility - it does not meet the CAP requirement. 

We are asking for patient name and DOB

Hi everyone,

On the most recent CAP checklist there is a requirement for 2 patient

identifiers.  For those labs who are CAP and receive all or a large

portion of their cases from outside facilities (=not from your

facility), what are you using as the identifiers on your specimen

containers?  Name and birthdate?  SS#?  Med record?  Something else?

Thank you in advance!
