[Histonet] New CAP question on records and anatomic retention

[Lester Raff MD]

Hello All:

 

Just got our self inspection material and came across this new question
dealing with ending lab operations.  Has anyone, especially independent
labs or hospitals not part of a big system,  developed such a policy?

 

Gen.20425 Does the laboratory have a policy to ensure that all records,
slides, blocks and tissues are retained and available for appropriate
times should the laboratory cease operations.
