[Histonet] grossing

Processing, according to CAP? :

"tissue examination limited to description, inking and cutting of the specimen, and submission og the entire specimen to histology.? Tissue processing can be performed accodring to standardized protocols.? Processing is generally limited to small specimens and does not require knowledge of anatomy."

This is right from the CAP checklist (ANP.11600)

Define presence? If they are able to have access a technical supervisor or a Pathologist if they have a question then this may just cover it. We have a Pathologist "on call" that can be in within minutes if there are any questions.?

I hate to beat a dead horse.....but how do you handle non-certified grossing staff.? They all meet the CLIA guidelines, but are they allowed to gross in the evening without the presence of a technical supervisor?

And how do you handle salaries for those that process and those that gross.....according to the CAP guidelines?


Thanks,
