[Histonet] Pathology Report Retention in Lab

[Rebecca Barnhart]

We no longer keep a hard copy in the lab.  We scan the request, consult
report, immuno report, FCM report, cytogenetic report and anything else
pertaining to the cases into our computer system.  If our computer
system goes down (which is a very rare occurrence) we can always go to
medical records.

Hi!

How long is everyone else keeping the lab copy (hard copy) of the 
pathology report in the lab files? 

Original kept in Medical Records indefinitely and lab copy is available

on-line but does not include associated items such as drawings, reqs, 
outside consultation reports, etc..

Thanks,
Cindy
