Histology Quality Improvement Program (HistoQIP)
Janet Tunnicliffe, Konnie Zietner, Jerry Santiago, Christa Hladik, Lori Schmitt and Elizabeth Sheppard

HistoQIP is a quality assurance program for histopathology, jointly sponsored by the National Society for Histotechnology and the College of American Pathologists. The primary emphasis of the program is to improve the quality of histologic preparations routinely performed in the histology laboratory through education. NSH representatives on the committee grade submissions and prepare the written materials returned to labs.

Current Happenings: 
 In 2012 the HistoQIP program expanded the biopsy program to include tissue specific programs as well as the general biopsy program. Response to this new program has been great. Participation in the original program which rotates submission of two tissues for H&E, one special stain, and two immunohistochemistry stains, continues to grow. There was an initial drop when some specialty labs enrolled in the general program switched over to the biopsy program; however the enrolment continues to grow as new laboratories join the program.
