Joan,
When you say "WE", how many Full Time Employees do you have working in
the EM area?

We here at the VA in Madison do about 350 specimens a year.  90% are
kidney biopsies.  We process, cut, stain, develop our own negatives and
print our own pictures; maintaining a two day turn-around time.  We also
have a large research program with two graduate students working on
immunogold projects. When we are not busy with clinical work we have
research projects to work on.

Are there other EM labs performing TEM similarly to Tim's processing
requiring their staff to produce more than 200 cases a year for 1 FTE?
We are currently still doing things the way he did but on 95% kidney.
200 has been the target in my lab for 1FTE. I am wanting to put this in
a graph for CAP.  I know there are procedures that could be automated
(ex. Processing) to allow workload increases but currently we are still
do a lot of manual methods and that is what I would like to benchmark.

Thanks,

Donna, I did em for 11 years and had about 200 cases per year. This was
about 70 percent kidney and 30 percent tumor. I did all the processing,
cutting, staining, initial screening, negative development and made
enlargments. I also attended most of the kidney biopsies to get the
tissue.

What is the average workload for a TEM technician?  How many cases a
year should 1 FTE perform?

Thanks,
