What is HistoQIP?
HistoQIP is a quality assurance program for histopathology, jointly sponsored by the National Society for Histotechnology and the College of American Pathologists.
HistoQIP improves histologic slide preparation in anatomic pathology laboratories. In this educational program, an expert panel of pathologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians evaluates submitted slides for histologic technique using uniform grading criteria. Participants receive a laboratory-specific evaluation and a participant summary with performance benchmarking, commentary from evaluators, and peer comparison data.
