How many places spin their urine QC and perform a microscopic exam? Do you do it daily? weekly? monthly? 

My big question though is this a CAP requirement. I can't find anywhere where it states that it is a requirement. I recently took over as supervisor and I don't know if we are doing this every day because we always have or because it's required. 

 

Thanks

We are JCAHO inspected and we do microscopic on QC daily and we have for at least 21 years..

We are JC also. It is a moderately complex test which means it should have two level of controls on each day of patient testing.
