[Histonet] Time allotted for Frozen sections

[Kathy M. Gorham]

Thanks, to all you responded to my question about times for FS.  CAP says 20 min. and that's what most everyone else said.  Kathy

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.
