CAP checklist ANP.12500 refers to "Record Retention". I am looking specifically at NOTE 2: "Regarding extra-institutional release of blocks for research purposes." I am wondering how everyone handles this, especially if you have only 1 block on newly diagnosed patient and the Doctor wants it sent out for research. Thanks in advance for your help! Tanya
