[Histonet] RE: Let's Talk CAP Inspections

[MaryK Mendell]

I agree on being an inspector, I learned so much doing that.  You can also share ideas when you see people who could make a few changes to save time.  Good Luck and welcome your questions.

Subject: [Histonet] Let's Talk CAP Inspections

I trust all of us will hopefully benefit from this line of discussion:

In 2013 our lab will undergo our 2013 CAP inspection. The Cyto (Non-Gyn)-pathology, and Anatomic(Surgical only) Pathology and now the new "Commons" checklist will be used.

Over the next weeks, in an effort to prepare, and to get feedback to CAP questions that tend to be subject-to-interpretation or subjective (since inspectors are our peers) versus objective questions (that are straight forward (or "elementary my dear friend"), I will present questions with hopes of obtaining interpretations from you, my fellow subject matter experts and fellow inspectors.

By the way, this will be my first CAP inspection as sole manager of our lab.

I also think volunteering to serve as an inspector will help the process as well. Look out, I may be coming your way.

We are tied into the main lab system. It is a wireless system from Rees Scientific.  We have the VIP 5 and it monitors the voltage.  I get a call if there is an error of any type.

What kind of remote alarms do you all have on your various processors when something goes wrong when you are not open but have processors running. So far I found sensaphone for the Peloris. I am interested in all types.
Thank you
