I appreciate your thoughts. True, seems like they couldn't be too specific in
their requirements if they cannot list specifically what they require ( when
you specifically ask), what a sentence! We will all find out if that is the
case or not soon enough.
Anyhow, I just want to agree with you that all the signs seem to be that there
will be tightening, based on their magazine articles and web site postings,
etc;
seems like validation & verification, competency, PT & ( interlaboratory
correlation) will be at the top of the list...stay tuned.

Subject: Re: [Histonet] RE: competency form
So I went to one of the CAP webinars regarding competency And when I asked
what about
histology there were complete silence on the other end of the line and than
they said there was
nothing for histology.
At our site they want something for very division so I put together a basic
form and use it
for the multitude of major tasks in histology. We are not getting inspeted
until next year but
from what I hear CAP is planning on making major changes for the pathology
protion of
CAP's checklist, what that means I do not know.
Since CAP canot give us concrete rules for histology I think that anything a
lab does is
better than nothing, and shows initiative on their part to meet CAP's
requirements.
Since this is a peer review the inspector can suggest alternatives but
cannot say you are in violation because the do not "like" your form.
Just my thoughts
