I don't understand Lorraine Smallwood's question: >>Can anyone give me info on the CAP inspection packet regarding policy for bariatric patient for autopsy? I am a new "Histonet" junkie so any help from the experts will be greatly appreciated.<<
CAP inspections don't concern themselves with details of pathologic technique. Are you asking whether they have a policy for refusing autopsies on bodies so obese that the autopsy is difficult to do, or for performing the autopsy? Or a policy for what information to record in doing an autopsy on a patient who's had bariatric surgery? When I Googled "autopsy bariatric surgery" I found references for both of my questions.
