[Histonet] Patient identifier

[Webb, Dorothy L]

According to the "rule" regarding 2 patient identifiers, it is our
understanding that the 2 identifiers must be on the container label and
in the computer system upon accessioning.  When the computer assigns the
surgical case number, all info is linked to that listed surgical
accessioned number and your 2 or more identifiers are pulled up with the
case.  That also keeps within "HIPPA" guidelines to have patient
information openly available when blocks or slides are sent out or left
out in view.  Otherwise, barcoding is the ideal way to place, view, and
tie all information needed!!
