[Histonet] Work Load Units

[Rene J Buesa]

What do you exactly mean by "Work Load Units"?
You should know how many cases and blocks you process by day, week or year, and you also know how many hours your staff uses to complete the tasks derived from those cases and blocks.
The total work completed between the staff members completing them during a given amount of time will allow you to calculate productivity.
If you are referring to which to select, the case is relevant  for the pathologists, the slide for the cytotech and the block for the histotech because they refer to what the usually handle.

Looking for a good system that works in recording Work Load Units.

I've inquired to CAP; they do not have any material available at this
time nor recommendations.

I've looked at CPT codes but they only reflect billable services in
pathology; descriptions are fairly general and cannot be broken down
into tasks of the tech. Looked in the Histonet archives; found
information not too current.

Thanks for any information.

Vaughn
