RE: [Histonet] Quality Stuff
There is NO margin of error acceptable in mislabeling blocks or slides. I expect 100% compliance with this in my department. When you have like specimens all day like derm, you cannot make labeling errors.

We hand write on all of our blocks and slides, so you can imagine we have mislabelings from time-to-time. I was wondering if other labs have acceptable limits set for errors such as these, and if so what are they like? I am working on setting standards and corrective actions for errors in the lab.

Re: [Histonet] Quality Stuff
There are no acceptable standards for mistakes. The present tendency of implementing the 6σ method in the lab is to precisely eliminate mistakes, not to set an acceptable limit.

Re: [Histonet] Quality Stuff
I also run a derm lab where we gross and write cassettes. The doctors medical assistants make mistakes every week so I set up a double checking system where one tech accessions and check numbers and writes slides. Then I gross and make one final qc check. this is only possible since I have low volume - not too sure about specific setups for larger lab qc Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: Rene J Buesa rjbu...@yahoo.com Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:47:23 To: histonethistonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu; kristen arvidsonarvidsonkris...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Histonet] Quality Stuff There are no acceptable standards for mistakes.
