[Histonet] Space requirements for AP lab

[Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/OID/NCEZID)]

Years ago I worked in a small, community hospital. The histology lab was TINY!  very well organized and tidy...but TINY!  Every inspection we got cited for being too small.  Can't remember which agency but we were a teaching hospital.........

We are Joint Commission. I've never run across this issue (and God forbid bringing it up in front of one!) in 40+ years and 3 lab renovations. CAP people out there??

Administrators rule of thumb: If there is free space in Histology, they are taking up too much space!

Greetings All, Are there any JACHO or CAP space requirements for an AP laboratory? Looking for recommended square footage per tech, equipment, and/or work area.
Thanks
