[Histonet] Hospital based Histology Labs

[Sebree Linda A.]

Several years ago our surgical pathology, IHC/ISH, and renal labs were
moved to rented space in a VA hospital that's physically connected to
our University hospital.  The grossing and frozen section lab remained
in space adjacent to the ORs.  The cassetted specimens are brought over
from there every day on carts.  It seems to work okay.  If the surgeons
want to talk with a pathologist the next day about a specimen they have
to walk over to the VA to do so.

This is a question for hospital based histo labs.  The hospital we are
based in has talked of moving our histology laboratory to an area
separated from the surgical suites.  My question is, how many hospital
histology labs are removed from the surgical suites by a significant
distance?  Of those that are separated, do you have a frozen/gross area
located away from the histo lab but close to the OR?  As many responses
as possible would be appreciated.  This will greatly facilitate our
decisions for future locations.
