As a patient safety issue. We have had local hospitals end up in the new
because of specimen mislabels. Very dangerous stuff.

Yes, we've been having the same problems with Erie slides. We use Ventana for
IHC staining as well. We've actually met with Erie representatives and they
took some of our bad lots back with them to test. They do admit there is a
problem, I'm just not sure exactly what that problem is. We
Is anyone using the new Leica EG1150 tissue embedding center? Any pros/cons? Is
the cold plate area sufficient? Is it that much better than the EG1160?

I have 2 derm practices looking for a derm pathologist in Cumberland County
NJ. This will be a part time position for each. One practice is at 3000 bx/yr
and the other is 3500 bx/yr. If you know of anyone interested please have them
call at the number below.
Thanks,

I am revising our daily QA sheet that we hand out to the pathologists
with the HE's in the morning. I would like to gather some ideas from
other sites. Does anyone have a form/chart that they would be willing
to share with me?

So who gets fired the person that made the error or the person who let the
slide out of the lab after verifying that the block matched the number and
tissue on the slide?

After many different forms and many efforts to make the pathologists to provide
feed back about the quality of the sections and procedures, this is what I
finished doing:
to ask the pathologists to simply separate the slides they considered of poor
quality and those unacceptable for diagnoses.
I would say the person who did the QC After all, isn't that their job?
But then again, 2 mislabeled slides does not justify termination (well,
depending on the frequency)... I guess I would be looking at performance
improvement.
Janice hit the nail on the head and is very right...
I actually randomly review the slides before they are sent to the Pathologist
any slide with incomplete sections, chatter or other major defects get re-cut
at that time. Since doing this complaints from the Pathologist disappeared
about the quality of the slides they were getting. They get the
Why would you want to have the pathologists fill out a QA sheet for a function
you have already performed (and should document). This would seem to be a
meaningless exercise (ie, waste of time) for the pathologist.

We have a place in out LIS that the Pathologist can choose and document
everything, then we run a report that tabulates and give us the values and
solutions. One thing I am seeing here is that we also need to address the
solution. A lot of people that I have inspected do great with marking
Actually, it is a CAP requirement:
ANP.11713 There is documented evidence of daily review of the technical
quality of histologic preparations by the pathologist.

Sorry, you are right about that. But, one wonders, if the problem has been
solved before they get the slides, what's the usefulness of the activity (that
would be a CAP debate)

We use the CBG recycling system and it does a great job. It will do
alcohol, xylene and formalin; however, we do not bother with the
formalin since to have to re-pH it after (too much of a hassle when
formalin is so cheap to purchase).

I meant to add: one way pathologists are part of the problem when they
think they are part of the solution is - and I am very frequently
guilty of this - is thinking This is a totally crappy slide, but it
makes the diagnosis, so what the hey, let's push it on out
Hey Ya'll,
A friend of mine forwarded me this. We both are HTs and have had to
deal with frozens a lot on a daily basis. Thought everyone might need a
good chuckle on a Monday!!

I guess the attachment didn't work. So I will copy and paste. I hope the

I forgot to mention that we do Histology for 3 different sites. This form is
sent to all 3 sites. It is interesting to see the difference in the grading of
the stain between pathologists on the same day from the same stainer.
