[Histonet] entering multiple specimens

Makes a bugger of trying to compare workloads though. Those that insist on
counting everything including 'next door's cat' seem to have larger work
loads than those who number logically.

 We do it also in this way. One pot is one number. One patient can have

several numbers that are joined together by the laboratory system. 

There are patient-ID-numbers and case-numbers, that are created by the

hospital system. The patient-ID identifies the person for his/her life, the

case-number refers to all procedures done with the patient while his/her

stay in the hospital.

We identify the single block with extra letters (a,b,c,..) and "codes".

In this country it is a regular way of organization.

Betreff: RE: [Histonet] entering multiple specimens

One specimen pot = one histology number here.

Nevertheless, it does not follow that each histology number has its own

report, they can be and are, amalgamated for the report.

It is easier to keep tabs on the workload, costs etc, when you work this

way.

Nobody mentioned one number *per block", so why this is being criticised is

beyond my ken.

I have seen the one specimen-one accession number approach in

dermatopathology labs only.

In all of the routine surgical pathology labs I've worked in, we've

accessioned based on the surgical procedure so multiple specimens are parts

of one accession number.  

I have however seen multiple accession numbers used when the patient has had

different procedures in the same day... for example, an upper GI procedure

and they took multiple specimens.  Later in the day, the patient had a lower

GI procedure and multiple specimens were received in the lab separately.  In

those instances, specimens from the upper procedure had a different

accession number than those from the lower procedure.
