Let me add the dyspeptic observation that, in the many pathology services I've worked in in the last 30 years - the more QC paperwork I have to do, the worse the slides.
I've never seen it done, but I think the only effective QC program in histology would be daily review of selected slides by a pathologist and a senior histotechnologist, with documentation of what problems were observed and what got done about them. I'm sure neither Six Sigma nor LEAN (whatever they may be) would approve of this Edwards Deming approach.
