Record keeping in Histology serves multiple purposes:
Traceability: It allows tracing the history of tissue samples from collection to analysis, ensuring that any results can be verified and replicated. Quality Control: Accurate records are essential for maintaining the quality and reliability of histological procedures and outcomes. Compliance: Proper documentation ensures compliance with regulatory standards and guidelines set by organizations like the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Research Integrity: In research settings, detailed records support the validation of experimental findings and contribute to the scientific body of knowledge.
