[Histonet] Block patient IDs

[Jesus Ellin]

In the latest CAP inspection list that we were handed, block and slides are said to have two perminant identifiers.  There are alot of new items in this checklist that raise questions.  This raises the question if there are alot of labs out of compliance?  There are also new questions that pertain to fna samples at the bedside, etc.  Also those doing digital imaging there are about 15 new questions from calibration to personal able to do the testing.  There are new revisions on how we should be validating antibodies.  What we are seeing is a paradigm shift in quality management.  This is the biggest thing that I see, but what we are not seeing the resources that need to be deployed for this type of shift.  Any takers on this.  I acctually gave a presentation on this for the Arizona Society of Histology last November in Tucson.

It refers to the original container the specimen came to you in.  The block is considered a secondary container, therefore, two identifiers are not required.

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
