[Histonet] Time allotted for Frozen sections

[Rene J Buesa]

CAP requires an explanation as to why any FS diagnosis takes more than 20 minutes after the sample reaches the lab.
The average time is 15 minutes.

Good morning histoland.  What is the maximum time allotted for frozen
section per block?  Is this written in CAP regs?  JCAHO regs?
Thanks, Kathy Gorham H.T.
