RE: [Histonet] Block patient IDs
Sometimes it is best to make changes in procedures not just because a regulatory agency requires it, but because it makes sense. We have been using 2 patient identifiers on our blocks for many years. I remember when I implemented it; I got a lot of flack from the staff about how cumbersome it would be. We still hand label all our cassettes and we do not have low volume. If you asked my staff now, they would unanimously agree that it is a good requirement and has saved us on many occasions with mislabeled cassettes. If the number is incorrect the name is almost always correct and vise versa.I agree that it is only a matter of time before the regulatory agencies require it. Why wait until it is required? If it improves patient safety, implement it now. Beth A.

RE: [Histonet] Block patient IDs
The new derm path lab I am associated with built their own computerized specimen tracking system and I am pretty sure that the same multi unique identifiers that are printed on the slides are printed on the blocks. They have leica slide and block printers connected to accessioning and grossing by touch screen computers and I believe they are labeled the same. If the block labeling and slide labeling are integrated why not keep them the same?

RE: [Histonet] Block patient IDs
Hi Everyone, Maybe there is something new, but we had our inspection last week, and the customized checklist used for our inspection does not require 2 identifiers. It states: NOTE: An unambiguous system of specimen identification coupled with a legible, sequential cassette and slide labeling system that withstands reagents and stains are essential to fulfill this requirement. The number of blocks processed and the number of slides prepared for each case must be recorded. ANP.21100 Phase II N/A YES NO Are blocks identified adequately? NOTE: Each block of tissue must be identified by the entire accession number assigned to the case and by any descriptive letter(s)/number(s) added by the prosector during the dissection. If additional blocks are prepared later, all lists and logs must reflect these additions. Identification number and letter(s)/numbers(s) must be affixed to all blocks in a manner that remains legible. ANP.21150 Phase II N/A YES NO Are slides identified permanently with adequate, legible information? NOTE: Each slide must be identified by the entire accession number and descriptive letters unique to the block from which it is cut. Other appropriate identifiers should be included as applicable (e.g., levels of sectioning). Automated prelabeling systems are acceptable. Regardless of whether the identifying information is on the slide or on a label, the information must be indelible, legible and able to withstand all stages of processing and conditions of storage. The laboratory director is responsible for ensuring that slides are adequately, permanently identified. I don't know if that helps, but these were copied and pasted directly from the checklist.

RE: [Histonet] Block patient IDs
I believe you are correct Bonnie. My understanding is that the 2 patient identifier regulation came originally from JCAHO and only refers to the specimen identification as it comes to the lab, and during accessioning, but not during subsequent processing, staining etc. Mind you, I'm willing to put money on it that it is just a matter of time before that changes. I would imagine once a few more companies perfect their specimen tracking systems that CAP will mandate two patient identifiers throughout the process of specimen reception to filing.

RE: [Histonet] Block patient IDs
In the latest CAP inspection list that we were handed, block and slides are said to have two perminant identifiers. There are alot of new items in this checklist that raise questions. This raises the question if there are alot of labs out of compliance? There are also new questions that pertain to fna samples at the bedside, etc. Also those doing digital imaging there are about 15 new questions from calibration to personal able to do the testing. There are new revisions on how we should be validating antibodies. What we are seeing is a paradigm shift in quality management. This is the biggest thing that I see, but what we are not seeing the resources that need to be deployed for this type of shift. Any takers on this. I acctually gave a presentation on this for the Arizona Society of Histology last November in Tucson.
