[Histonet] Special Stain documentation

[hymclab]

For H&E's, a log goes to the Pathologist with the most slides for the day and he checks if the technical quality of the slides is good or not and initials.  The lead tech also initials.

For Special Stains, we have a QC log that we document stains performed on daily and the results of the stains.  The Pathologists also document along with special stain results that "Controls reacted appropriately" in the report.

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
