RE: [Histonet] Placentas and AP
As a follow up to this question: If the placentas are not sent to AP for testing, are they listed on a tissue exception list? Thanks! Michelle -Original Message- Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 8:37 AM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Placentas and AP I have been asked this set of questions and thought I would ask the experts! This is regarding sending placentas to the lab for AP evaluations: Is there an industry standard, CAP or Joint Commission requirement for sending placentas for AP evaluations? Such as send all for evaluations; send complicated ones only etc. If there are specific requirements, can you please give me the req as well?

[Histonet] Placentas - Requests for Homeopathic remedy usage
We are occasionally getting requests for a patient to take home a placenta. Our hospital policy does not require that placentas are sent to pathology unless requested by the clinician. The placentas that are being requested are ones that normally would not come to pathology for examination and are supposedly being used in homeopathic placental remedies. Currently our hospital policy does not allow for tissue to be given to the patient to take home. I am interested in how other hospitals are handling these requests. Thanks for your time.
