Several key areas should be the focus of monitoring and auditing in Histology:
Specimen Handling - Ensuring that specimens are correctly labeled, stored, and transported to avoid contamination or degradation. Processing - Verifying that tissue processing protocols are followed, including fixation, dehydration, clearing, and embedding. Staining - Ensuring that staining procedures are consistent and produce quality results for accurate interpretation. Quality Control - Regularly checking instruments and reagents to ensure they are functioning correctly and are within their expiration dates. Record Keeping - Maintaining accurate and detailed records of all procedures, results, and any deviations from standard protocols.
