[Histonet] computer order enrty

[Horn, Hazel V]

We are hoping to do the same here.  But OE does not assign a specimen
number.  The specimen number would be assigned when you receive the
specimen.

As for like specimens, we have to accession them together as we get so
many GI bx's that's it's impossible to separate them.    We do use a
color code system to separate the biopsy cases.  We use 6 different
alternating colors and the color is dictated in the gross description.

We are currently looking into computer order entry for our pathology
specimens (using meditech).  However, our major concern is that the
specimens will be assigned a surgical number when the specimen is
ordered in the OR, GI, radiology, etc and like specimens may not be
separated.   Does anyone utilize the order entry module, and if so, how
do you prevent like specimens for getting back to back numbers?
Thanks in advance,
Allison
