I think I got it.   Thank you for your explanation and most importantly,

AB&T is the Copath tracking system but when a third party tracking system is
used AB&T is used as the interface to the third party system.

So AB&T is the actual interface, not their barcode and tracking system?

I understand about the ordering of blocks and stains, etc.

Cerner Copath AB&T will not interact in a bi-directional way with a third
party tracking system (except to get "status" updates, ie when a block is
scanned at embedding Vantage will send a message to Copath to update the
block status). That is, you cannot enter a block or stain order in the third
party system and have the data be written back to the Copath database. You
must enter all in Copath and then the third party system picks it up from
there. That is why Copath was telling Anita that they would need to use
Copath alone at grossing (and accessioning, and all stain ordering). Also,
You must buy and install AB&T to use any third party tracking system (AB&T
is the HL7 interface).

Amber, at the risk of exposing my ignorance, doesnt AB&T and Vantage offer
very similar functionality?   I'm just curious why you would have both?

As to your question, if you have some validation process occurring at
grossing that requires information from your Copath system, then perhaps you
might want to use Copath at grossing.  For instance, if you scan
requisitions or manual drawings or anything of that nature and you require
those scanned images or other information to be verified at grossing, you
might want to use Copath for grossing IF that information is not being sent
across the interface from Copath to Vantage.

I hope I'm making sense, but if not, please feel free to ask for
clarification.

 For those of you who have Vantage, in your grossing room do you have
Vantage set up or your LIS system?  I was thinking it should be vantage, but
our Co-path person said we should have AB&T set up in the grossing room and
let vantage start at embedding, microtomy and case assembly.  What are your
thoughts? Do you have a full computer, keyboard, and scanner in grossing?
Thanks!
