[Histonet] IHC QC forms:

Hi Brandy,
Our QC program indicates that all slides are QC'd by a tech prior to leaving the lab. Once, QC is done, the tech delineates between the patient tissue and control. This indicates to the lab assistant that they are ready to be distributed. Stain quality is also 'assumed' through the report disclaimer after the case is read out by the pathologist which includes the statement: Ancillary studies were performed on this case with appropriate controls showing appropriate reactivity. Where we do document is when a stain does not work as expected. At the time of tech QC, if the stain did not work, we print the run log, attach the bad slide with comments and perform a repeat following investigation into why it did not work. The repeat results and initials are noted on the log and this is filed in a binder. This saves us a lot of time. If the pathologist has an issue with a stain, they submit a QI issue log to me and I research the issue. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your input. We are having the same issues with our IHC QA/QC and monthly repeat count.
The pathologists place the IHC orders through PowerPath, so I'm hoping that we can create a "Repeat" code in PowerPath to keep track of them. Do you know how it was set up in your ordering system?
Thanks again,
Brandy Burnett, HTL

We only check and document control slide quality and need for repeat due to control failure.
The pathologist reviewing the slides will send a QC form to us if there is a problem with case slides. Plus thye can enter a repeat for a poor stain as a ""repeat" and we can track the number of repeats in the system. It is actually one of our QA monitors and review of repeats is documented in our quarterly QA review meeting.

Currently we have a IHC QC form for every case that we run. It lists dr, antibody, date, comments, quality results. The HT and pathologist sign off on the quality. Is this necessary for every case or can we do a daily log for all cases? This process is a little time consuming. Does anyone have a good process in place that they can share?
Thank you.

Hi my name is Jeff and I am the Pathology Supervisor here at Kadlec Regional Medical Center Richland, WA. I just had a Histologist resign today as she is moving to Florida to be closer to her Parents. I am looking for someone to fill this position that has Immuno experience and I would prefer someone ASCP/QIHC. This posting will not take place on our web site till next week sometime. Kadlec is a 270 bed facility with an expansion taking place next year to over 300 beds. Last year we did almost 13,000 cases and growing every year. Richland is Part of the Tri-Cities Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland with the area population of about 250,000 both cities and rural area. The Columbia, Snake, and Yakima Rivers converge here so there are boating and fishing opportunities. We are 2 hours from Spokane and 3 ? hours from Seattle with snow skiing along the Cascade mountain range and in Spokane. Let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
Jeff

Brandy,
We are completely paperless now so we created a code called "RPTIHC" that had no billing charge associated with it. The pathologist then puts what antibody/antibodies need repeating in the instruction box of the repeat code. They also indicate the reason for the repeat(s). It populates nicely to the worklist that gets printed; works well for us.

Linda~
We would love to be completely paperless eventually. We are in the process of interfacing our instruments with PowerPath and this is where we are having a problem developing a code for the repeats.
Thanks again for your advice, every little bit helps!
Sincerely,
Brandy Burnett, HTL

We just got one of these embedding centers at auction. This is model 4710, but it didn't come with a user manual. An online search turned up manuals for the TEC 4 and 5, but not this one. Would anyone happen to have one, and if so, any chance you can scan it and email it to me? (No rush, though. We have pretty much figured it out, but it would be good to have one anyway.)
Thank you so much!
