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!).

Does anyone know of any regulations against a Pathologist reading slides
from home? If so would you be able to cite the specific regulation?
Thanks,
Jennifer
