[Histonet] IHC/SS QA/QC Sheets:

[Sebree Linda A]

Hi Craig,

As technologists, we of course QC all slides before they get to the pathologist(s) but that is not documented unless we put a repeat order in the case.  Then we add a note saying why a test needs repeating, i.e. positive control did not stain, patient tissue loss, etc.  But this is all done electronically, so no paper trail.  For general QC, we have gone to having a statement automatically populate to any case reports that include IHC/ISH staining but I'm assuming this could also work for H&Es, Special Stains, etc.; I'm only familiar with the IHC/ISH portion of QCing.  Our statement says something along the lines of the controls staining appropriately and as expected.  The pathologist that signs out the case is attesting to that statement.  This statement has eliminated HUGE amounts of paper and filing.

Hope this helps,

Linda

Can someone help guide me on the right direction regarding how to organize daily QC sheets. Currently we have one per case (this is time consuming and I'm on overload of papers). Does anyone have a good solution and are you willing to share?

Thank you for your help,

Craig
