RESUMEN

Humans and machines both have an inherent error rate. As long as this is true, sub-optimal events will occur in the histology laboratory. The best approach to troubleshooting and remedying these events is to (1) understand the various theories of action behind histology procedures and stains then (2) apply a problem-solving mentality to develop a corrective action. These theories and problem solving strategies are presented in this review article.
