[Histonet] Approval and review of procedures

[Sproles, Judy A.]

Hello,
I am currently helping organize histology SOPs and need some help clarifying who can perform SOP review. In cytology, the technical supervisor (MD) reviews and approves procedures. CLIA rules for clinical departments allow MT as technical supervisors. Can an HT be a technical supervisor and perform annual review of SOPs?
