[Histonet] second patient identifier on tissue cassette

[VOGT, LORI]

I know it is not a Cap requirement yet.  JACHO is requiring 2 patient identifier on specimens and I am looking to the future trickle  down effect. Thanks Dawn D. Schneider, HT(ASCP)your advice and insight it really helps.

Where in the CAP Standard check list for Anatomic Pathology does it
state that a second patient identifier must be on the tissue cassette?

I don't remember reading that.

How are you small hospitals dealing with a second patient identifier on
the tissue cassette if you do not have a cassette printer/labeler?  Is
there an easier way then hand writing patient name on cassette?
