The only regulation about reading slides "from home" refers to cytotechnologists because they have a limit of allowed cases/day that has to be controlled at the usual work setting, but no such regulation exists for pathologists and I really do not think that a pathologist is limited to read slides from home. The only possible objection would be a pathologist working in the UK because, under the NHS regulations, pathologists have norms about the time per type of case and its complexity. This time/case was designed to assure that the pathologist takes enough time for the diagnosis which, according with the system design, assures quality of work, and also links work-to-remuneration rates. Under those circumstances perhaps the pathologists would have to justify how much time they have used (to be paid for) per different cases, and that would require a work based control. Fortunately such a system does not exist here (yet!). René J.
