[Histonet] Credentials for performing IHC staining

[Horn, Hazel V]

Although IHC is a high complexity test, it is the reporting of results that constitutes the ruling which only applies to pathologists.  Not the techs performing the staining.  Just as with all histology testing.

Regardless of the instrument, or if IHC is done manually, it is considered 
a high complexity test and the person doing it should be an accredited or 
licensed, specially trained, histotechnologist or med tech specialized in 
IHC which is a new ASCP accreditation level.
