[Histonet] New CAP question GEN.20425

[Hannen, Valerie]

We have addressed and answered this question by including the following statement on the bottom of our "Period of Retention" List :
 
" All the above mentioned will be sent to a facility (hospital) approved storage site in the event that the Clinical Laboratory or hospital closes."
 
We had our CAP inspection earlier this year, and this statement was accepted by our inspector.

      How has your laboratory adressed the new CAP question GEN.20425
    
      
    
            Has your laboratory or your institution developed a solution to the new CAP requirement below?

            GEN.20425

            Does the laboratory have a policy to ensure that all records, slides, blocks, and tissues are retained and available for appropriate times should the laboratory cease operation?
