Compliance is vital in histology for several reasons:
Accuracy: Proper compliance ensures that tissue samples are processed correctly, leading to precise and reliable results. Reproducibility: Following standardized protocols allows for consistency in results, making it possible to replicate findings across different laboratories. Regulatory Requirements: Adhering to compliance standards helps laboratories meet regulatory and accreditation requirements, such as those set by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) or the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Patient Safety: Accurate and reliable histological results are crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment, directly impacting patient care and outcomes.
