[Histonet] Competency signoff CAP

[Morken, Timothy]

Charles, for grossing you do need to show competency for the types of specimens they are allowed to gross.

Histology "competency" is not required under CLIA because it is not high complexity  (no "testing" is done. The "test" is the pathologists interpretation). Therefore, your histology competency is whatever you define within your institution.

Subject: [Histonet] Competency signoff CAP

I just recently got put in charge of managing the personnel records for
training and am in the process of trying to update our personnel records
for our next CAP inspection. I feel our previous files were over detailed
and excessive in what they covered and wanted to try and consolidate some
of the information under broader categories.

Is anyone willing to send me what they use in their labs for Grossing and
Histology Competency and proficiency testing sign off for their staff so I
can get an idea of how much information I need to provide.
