[Histonet] Grossing Room Staffing

[Rene J Buesa]

I am sorry to tell you that having an aid in the gross room will increase the productivity of your PA by 25-30% because what you consider irrelevant tasks done by an aid will permit your PA to do what s/he is paid for and closing lids is not something that should be done by a better paid PA as compared with an aid salary.René J.

I need help in convincing my Pathology group that it is old school to have a aid or tech in the gross room to hand them specimen and put lids on
cassettes and close them. We have a PA that is employed by the pathology group that wants help in putting lids on and closing cassette. We use the
Thermo-Cassette printer in the gross room and print cassettes from a bar-coded label on the container. No cassettes are preprinted and placed on the
specimen container lids.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
