[Histonet] Block patient IDs

[Patsy Ruegg]

The new derm path lab I am associated with built their own computerized
specimen tracking system and I am pretty sure that the same multi unique
identifiers that are printed on the slides are printed on the blocks.  They
have leica slide and block printers connected to accessioning and grossing
by touch screen computers and I believe they are labeled the same.  If the
block labeling and slide labeling are integrated why not keep them the same?

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
