[Histonet] Communication when pathologist are not in same

[Nancy Schmitt]

Hi Allison-
We rely on email, phone and tracking forms.  Anytime we encounter a problem with a slide/block/number etc., we fill out a tracking form and send with the case.  The pathologist of record then responds and sends it back to us in histology.  We have had good success with this, and it's also a good tool for tracking problems/trends.  Our histology lab is in a central location with no pathologist present as they are at two hospital sites in our city. It also helps that we have a great group of pathologists to work with.

Hello to all in histoland.  What are you doing to minimize the
communication breakdown, when the pathologist are not housed in the lab.
We will be moving to a new lab and the pathologist will not be in the
new bldg with us.  They will be in the old building next door. Are you
relying upon email and phone interactions.   My directors concern is how
will this effect the flow of information, especially when they are used
to face to face interactions.
