Is everyone concerned about getting a physician's signature on requisitions,
or do you have a fool proof plan in place? Inquiring minds want to
know....... TIA!
How many of you have electronic ordering for AP?
This from CodeMap Compliance that I get..
Signatures Required on Laboratory Requisitions
Although many professional groups and organizations lobbied against the
signature requirement, CMS is implementing this provision as part of the CY
2011 MPFS. Starting January 1, 2011, the ordering physician must sign all
written or paper requisitions for laboratory tests and services. Clinical
laboratories will have to scramble to revise requisitions to include a
signature line for the ordering physician.
However, those labs that receive test orders via electronic or web-based
interfaces should not be affected by the signature requirement included in
the 2011 MPFS. In the comments to the proposed 2011 MPFS, CMS states,
"Our proposed policy does not concern electronic or telephonic requests,
because we do not consider these types of requests to be requisitions. As we
discussed previously, a requisition is the actual paperwork, such as a form
that is provided to a clinical diagnostic laboratory that identifies the
test or tests to be performed for a patient.

Like everyone else we are struggling with how to get everyone to comply. If
anyone has any plans I think the whole group could benefit. Right now our
institution is getting together to figure out a way to get the information
out to the surgeons, etc but no concrete plans.

I work in an integrated health system that has 9 Hospitals and 100's of
outreach clients. All our hospitals are using Computerized Physician Order
Entry (CPOE) for all tests ordered and our outreach clients use Electronic
Order Entry via interface to their system or our web based system or they
have client specific paper requisitions that have always required physician
signature. We will be able to continue business as usual moving forward in
2011. The federal government specifically and definitely wants everyone to
use electronic ordering and reporting processes so that we can move forward
to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and reduce repeats and waste in
laboratory tests.

It's wonderful that you are ahead of the game. I have electronic orders from
GIDU and Breast Health, but haven't been able to get the ORs on board yet. I
am hoping this will be the push they need to comply. Sure would make it
easier!
How does your order work? Our electronic order generates a paper
requisition. - one in the lab and one to send with the specimen. Surgery
says they don't have good access to printers, et. Do you have multiple
frozens on complicated cases that require a requisition with one? And one
they can write the special instructions on, etc?
Thanks for your response. j

Sorry to boot this dog around a bit more, BUT - We have Cerner CoPath plus
and Dragon speak and are looking at Thermo and General Data. Do they
interface smoothly? Do your cassettes get printed at accession or grossing?
Are you using multiple colors of cassettes? What are you doing for slides
that require levels or a mix of non-charged and charged slides?
Thank you for any and all input!

We have GE Ultra - formerly Triple G.
Cassettes are printed on our Sakura printer at accessioning (number is
attached to the specimen) and more printed at grossing if needed.
We use multiple colors of cassettes - the color is tied to the specimen of
can be changed for decal.
Slides are printed on our Sakura slide printer in batch by case type.
Charged slides on in one hopper and printing is directed there for the
necessary printing through the soft ware.
It was painful getting the interface done, but once it was, it has been a
good thing.
Good luck, j

Do you find that the number of errors has decreased since you have
implemented this? Our pathologists are hesitant because they worry too many
pre-printed cassettes could get mixed up.

We have GE Ultra - formerly Triple G.
Cassettes are printed on our Sakura printer at accessioning (number is
attached to the specimen) and more printed at grossing if needed.
We use multiple colors of cassettes - the color is tied to the specimen of
can be changed for decal.
Slides are printed on our Sakura slide printer in batch by case type.
Charged slides on in one hopper and printing is directed there for the
necessary printing through the soft ware.
It was painful getting the interface done, but once it was, it has been a
good thing.
Good luck, j

Sorry to boot this dog around a bit more, BUT - We have Cerner CoPath plus
and Dragon speak and are looking at Thermo and General Data. Do they
interface smoothly? Do your cassettes get printed at accession or grossing?
Are you using multiple colors of cassettes? What are you doing for slides
that require levels or a mix of non-charged and charged slides?
Thank you for any and all input!

Hey, I have a question. I was wondering if there are what the CAP
regulations are for grossing, and if cutting bones for diagnosis falls into
the same category as grossing other tissues. In out lab we have a PA who
grosses all of the specimens. However the HT's cut down bone sections for
bones that have avascular necrosis, fracture, etc. . . as the pre surgical
diagnosis. I am trying to find out if this practice would be ok in the eyes
of CAP or if the PA should be doing that as well.
Thank you,

I don't have documentation to say there's a decrease or increase, but we
don't find it to be a problem at all. The cassettes are put on top of each
container and seem to live there. We do have them bar-coded and in our ideal
world, we would check, but our system doesn't work all the way through yet!

This is true about electronic ordering but there is a provision on what is
acceptable for electronic order, just ordering in a system and spitting out
requisitions does not comply, There needs to be password verification and
review of this information by the clinician before it is ordered and sent to
the laboratory performing the service when the requisition is created. They
go on to say that orders and requisitions are different aspects and should
not be confused. IF the orders are just received through an electronic
interface then there is a difference.
But if the specimen is received using any paper form then this needs to be
signed by the clinician either electronically or manually.
We are looking at this really closely, with using paper requisitions, even
orders from the OR for frozens, molecular studies, interoperative work, all
needs to be signed by the surgeon. Can you imagine the impact that this is
going to cause.
Our current solutions is to have maybe standing orders in place and move and
look at process within the Main OR's, outpatient OR and clients.
Once again a huge problem,, but Bill is right this will lead to more and
more paperless enviroments.

I had that concern about our electronic orders, because it certainly is just
spitting out a paper.
We must do something! How can we make CMS hear us? ASCP just send an email
that a hospital is OR says it is unjust. j
