I also run a derm lab where we gross and write cassettes. The doctors medical assistants make mistakes every week so I set up a double checking system where one tech accessions and check numbers and writes slides. Then I gross and make one final qc check.  this is only possible since I have low volume - not too sure about specific setups for larger lab qc

There are no acceptable "standards" for mistakes. The present tendency of implementing the "6σ method" in the lab is to precisely eliminate mistakes, not to set an "acceptable" limit.

Hello,
I work in a derm lab and we do all the grossing.  We hand write on all of our blocks and slides, so you can imagine we have mislabelings from time-to-time.  I was wondering if other labs have acceptable limits set for errors such as these, and if so what are they like? I am working on setting standards and corrective actions for errors in the lab.  Thank you for any input.
