[Histonet] Special Stain documentation

[Matthew Chase]

We have this statement embedded into every report:
"Quality of hematoxylin and eosin staining was appropriate for slide evaluation".
and if it's an immuno we have an auto text with the same type of wording. We first tried to get the pathologists to sign a log each day but that was a nightmare.

Our techs document that the controls work. My dream would be that the pathologist would document in the report with a phrase something like "Controls stain appropriately".

How do others document the results of routine special stain controls to be acceptable before reporting patient results (CAP  checklist item ANP.21395)?  Do the histotechs document the results or do the pathologists - or both??  If your pathologists document the results, how do they document them?

Thanks,
Laurie Colbert
