[Histonet] Tracking Outgoing Blocks and Slides

[Luck, Greg D.]

Paula,

We are on Meditech.  When a block(s) or slide(s) are sent out the person
sending out the materials adds an electronic marker (we use "POC" for
pathology outside consult) into the marker data section of the pathology
report.  When the materials are returned the marker is removed.  On a
regular basis, usually weekly the lead transcriptionist runs a search for
all outstanding POC markers which are greater out than two weeks and those
not having the materials returned are followed up with a phone call.  Works
very well for us.  Good luck,  Greg

What type of tracking system do you use for blocks and slides that go out to
the pathologists or other institutions for consultations and such?  I want
to make sure that whatever is going out comes back. We need a better plan
than our current method.

Thanks in advance.
