Hi All,
 
My lab would like to switch from JCAHO to CAP.  What are the differences?  
We are mostly interested in:
Are two patient identifiers necessary on specimen containers (like under JCAHO)?
What are the education requirements for grossing of specimens that require inking and representative sections/margin check/etc?
QA/QC?
 
I know that the checklist is available but it is $500 and we don't want to spend that unless we know that this is a good idea...
 
Thanks!
