As technologists, we sign off on the run sheets of each instrument batch
of slides.  This indicates that the positive and negative controls have
stained as expected and that the patient unknowns are of high quality.
If something is not as it should be at this point, we may decide on our
own to rerun a case or slides and inform the pathologist or we discuss
it with the requesting pathologist and come up with a plan of action,
which is documented on the run sheet.  When the slides are delivered to
the pathologists, a QA form accompanies them and the pathologist is
required to indicate "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" and sign his
name.

How is everyone carrying out the new CAP req.?   Is there documented
evidence of daily review of the technical quality of histologic
preparations by the pathologist?

This req. came out in April so I was wondering the best way to handle
this.
