Maintaining high standards involves several strategies:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Laboratories must have well-documented SOPs for every step of the histological process. These procedures ensure consistency and adherence to best practices.
Quality Control Regular quality control checks, such as using control tissues and verifying staining quality, are essential. This helps identify any deviations from the standard protocols.
Training and Competency Continuous training and competency assessments of histotechnicians and pathologists are crucial. This ensures that the personnel are up-to-date with the latest techniques and standards.
