Thank you to everyone who sent a template.  This is very helpful.  I do need clarfication on the 10 cases that are required for validation.  Do you include the 10 cases on this same form, or do you have something separate for that?  These look ideal for optimization.  From what I have read online, 10 cases need to be run after optimization has been completed.
When validating these 10 cases, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility need to be monitored.  Are all of you using separate form to capture this data and approval from the Pathologists?  Maybe I am going overboard, but I want to make sure that I have everything covered.  We are bringing a new platform into our lab in 2 weeks, and I want to have everything ready to go.
