HistoQIP - HQIP
The National Society for Histotechnology (NSH) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) HQIP program improves the preparation of histologic slides in all anatomic pathology laboratories. In this educational program, participants will receive an evaluation specific to their laboratory and a participant summary that includes peer comparison data, evaluators’ comments, and performance benchmarking data. An expert panel of pathologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians will evaluate submitted slides for histologic technique using uniform.
