Documentation is a key aspect of lab work. It is almost like doing the practice
without procedures. Its shows history, continuity and evidence that the work
was methodical, approved and sound. Thus it provides evidence based
substantiation.

There is a great need for standardization in histotechnology, from forms,
policies, procedures/methods to controls processes and protocols. Hope NSH is
