Is anyone anticipating new CAP changes this year in their lab with
respect to "grossing" tissue. We are not in the same site as the doctors and
we've been submitting specific surgical specimens for the Pathologist for 20
years. GI bxs, prostate needle bxs, etc. We've also been grossing dermatology
specimens since 1970. Cutting skin ellipses, submitting punch bxs, and on and
on. All off site.
Our Pathologist thinks it is more technical to embed the punch bx, than
to place it in a cassette.
Is it true, we can't gross anything with just an HT certificate? How
about if we use cameras to watch our grossing from the hospital?
Your thoughts please
Respectfully,
Bruce Gapinski HT (ASCP)
