[Histonet] FW: Order Entry - Meditech

[Tom McNemar]

We do not use OE.  Histo accessions all cytology and surgical specimens.  We separate 'like' specimens in case there is a number mix up.  We get a lot of GI's and skins and just consider it good practice to accession a different specimen type in between.

I think I know the answer, but at the risk of sounding quite ignorant, can
you guys tell me why you'd want to separate 'like' specimen?

To me, at least, manually accessioning a case is an awful steep price to pay
for this desire.

Allison,

  We have not implemented Order Entry for Surgical Pathology as of yet, but
it is on the wish list for later this year.  We do however, currently do our
Cytology Specimens this way.  The case is ordered under OE but it is still
accessioned once received in the laboratory, so the accession number is
assigned there.  That would allow you to keep like cases separated.  Please
keep me informed of your progress, I would love to learn from your
experience.
