What I find really weird and hard to understand is:
That person who is unable (CLIA-wise) to gross the small biopsy because of
inadequate science training etc, is able to embed, cut and stain that same
biopsy. The histology part is so much harder and requires much more training
and expertise. I
I agree. That's the easiest solution.
My colleague at a sister institution does not allow breast excisions on Friday.
We need more people to do studies on fixation beyond 72 hours. My hunch is that
another 24 hours won't affect ER , Pgr, and Her2 results.

Same here .
Here is a summary of CAPs /NSH recommendations.

If the link doesn't work, just google if you want.
I guess you can do it either way.
But, specimens d

Your Lis should not have done that.
If you are using Copath/Cerner, I think they have automated it now according to
their most recent newsletter. Currently, I have to manually change the 88342's
to 1's It's somewhat of a pain. But, your Lis should have consulted someone
before deleting all codes
In the past when using giemsa stain,
I came across two human cases of very long helicobacter organisms.. I was
stumped the first time since I had never seen one previously. I reflexed both

both heilmani. I think it
Is it a pain in the neck to do it by hand? I'd like to bring my h pyloris in
house as well. I'm trying to create more revenue to support a 2nd histotech.

I believe grossing of small biopsies and performing ihc are both considered
high complex testing. You must fulfill the clia personnel requirements of high
complex testing.
I also believe a histotech who only cuts and performs routine stains is not
considered highly complex. I'm not sure why? A
We did the slim Jim thing for the gram control and it grew fungus.
It works great as a fungus control .
I haven't tested it yet for bacteria.
I may have a dual control!

I believe you apply for a clia certificate regardless. Then, every two years
you need to be inspected.
You can choose cap or joint commission to survey you.
Cap meets or exceeds clia regulations. I'm more familiar with CAP. If you
choose cap your lab will be required to inspect another lab.
