[Histonet] policy for handling bariatric patients

[Minikus, Carrie A.]

Does anyone have a policy to share on the handling of bariatric patients before autopsy? I have seen that it is new on the CAP checklist. We do very few autopsies at our facility but need to adopt a procedure to be in compliance with CAP. Any direction from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
