[Histonet] Re: [IHCRG] consults with slide preparation

[Richard Cartun]

We keep the slides when we provide the interpretation and diagnosis.  Occasionally, they are returned at the request of the referring institution because the patient is being presented at a conference or is going else where for a second opinion or treatment.

Curious to see how others are handling this...........

We recently received a consult from another facility and ended up
preparing a lot of IHC stains on the referred blocks. One of our
pathologists believes the IHC slides should be returned to the original
requesting lab. Another couple of pathologists and I feel that the
slides should be kept here, as we have some sort of legal
responsibility, as the facility that prepared the slides from which our
consult report was generated.

Thanks
