[Histonet] Block patient IDs

[Terri Brown]

I think  you will find that CAP is asking if 2 patient identifiers are
used throughout the entire process.  We engrave the blocks, slides and a
computer generated block count log that uses 2 patient identifiers.

It is my understand that the two patient identifier applies to the
completed slide not the block.
You can verify this by looking at the CAP Checklist for anatomical
pathology

A question for all you CAP fundis: how many patient Identifiers are
needed on each paraffin block

We currently just write the unique, LIS generated number on the block
face, but have recently been advised that CAP and JCIA require not one,
but TWO patient IDS on the block

Comments please
