[Histonet] RE: Release of blocks to research facilities

[Weems, Joyce K.]

The notes say that after two years it can be released if approved, but the best way is to intentionally preserve material if you have any idea there may be a need.

And we could provide unstained slides.

Subject: [Histonet] Release of blocks to research facilities

CAP checklist ANP.12500 refers to "Record Retention". I am looking specifically at NOTE 2: "Regarding extra-institutional release of blocks for research purposes."
I am wondering how everyone handles this, especially if you have only 1 block on newly diagnosed patient and the Doctor wants it sent out for research.
Thanks in advance for your help! Tanya
