[Histonet] barcode labels vs handwritten

[Weems, Joyce]

And we use barcodeing, even tho all of the end users do not. We'll get
there eventually! This big of a change takes a while. We get labels from
Printer's Plus and are very happy with them. They are very thin and very
secure. We also now have a Sakura slide printer - that is interfaced
with our LIS. We still write our initial on the slides. We have unique
bar codes for the case, each specimen, each block, and each slide. If
they are used properly, many chances for error are eliminated.

Good luck to us all as we move into the future. Hope everyone is
surviving the stock market challenge. J
