Correct. That is how it's done.

It is my understanding that whenever the reading of the slides is not performed
at the testing site that they need to list that on their report and also they
will need to have a CLIA license for their home or office that is offsite.

You are absolutely right! That is also an issue. Its seems that with every bit
of additional information the case about being illegal for a pathologist to
read slides from home is building up more and more strong!
Very interesting.

The UK Human Tissues Act (2006) is also relevant I think. To work with human
tissue premises have to be registered. All tissue is tracked. The Health
Service may have exemptions but generally tracking requires approved couriers
etc. Registration of premises does require payment of a fee.
One can imagine the headlines if your home working pathologist was transporting
slides themselves and say left diagnostic samples on the train. Patient
confidentiality around physical notes would also be something to be considered
I guess.

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
