[Histonet] CAP Question

[Rene J Buesa]

That is a quantifying question by CAP and refers to keeping track of the number of blocks processed and slides stained either routine (H&E) or special procedures (HC, IHC) daily to get to a monthly and annual figures.
CAP does not care about the stocks prepared because how you use your stock solutions is another aspect of the QA.

I would like to know how others interpret this CAP question ANP.21350:
"Does the histology laboratory maintain records of the number of blocks,
slides, and stains prepared"

 

As far as the stains go - do you interpret this to mean do you keep
track of the number of stains performed (as in, how many special stains
do you do a year), or do you keep track of the number of stock stain
solutions actually prepared?
