I often see blocks from many institutions that only have surgical numbers on
them, then after the slides are always expected to have both. Seems like blocks
are the only exception to this rule, but it is probably just a commonly

The Two Identifiers are for Intra-Operative (frozen section) slides
only, not routine HE slides *ANP.11800* at least so far! Routine
slide information is listed under *ANP.21050

Your manager is correct. You must have two patient identifiers through the
whole process. We write the full name, accession number and designation ( a, b
L1 ) on each slide. I have had both CAP and Joint Commission inspectors pull
the labels back looking for 2 identifiers.
