[Histonet] Pathology Report Templates

[Victor A. Tobias]

Here is the explanation from the CAP inspector, not a requirement yet.

Okay I just talked to Anita about why the inspector wanted CLIA number and Director Name on report and the reason why is that the inspector said that patients are now having easier access to their reports, and laboratories are placing this information on the reports for references, and this is something that will be necessary in the future, and he for some reason wanted to see that we were going to do this.

I reviewed the 2014 CAP checklist twice.  I see no mention of a requirement for CLIA# and Medical Director to be on the final pathology report.

> One of our facilities had a CAP inspection last week and I was asked to add the CLIA# and Medical Director to the template, immediately. Is this something new, as we had our CAP inspection last Aug. and there was no mention about CLIA# or having the Director's name on the templates?
