I have seen a phrase in a lot of reports that states: "All controls are
appropriate," or something to that effect. I explain that it is a legally
binding phrase, that is on reports by the pathologists to verify the control
is correct. I have always heard that if the case went to court, the
pathologist could be asked to testify to that fact.
The techs also document that the control worked on the log sheet.

How do others document the results of routine special stain controls to be
acceptable before reporting patient results (CAP checklist item ANP.21395)?
Do the histotechs document the results or do the pathologists - or both?? If
your pathologists document the results, how do they document them?
Thanks,

Our techs document that the controls work. My dream would be that the
pathologist would document in the report with a phrase something like "Controls
stain appropriately".
