[Histonet] Specimen Delivery

[Podawiltz, Thomas]

Here, all the surgical specimens are delivered directly to the Histology lab. All other specimens are delivered to the Specimen processing area (SPA). This way all specimens that need to be shared can be done there.

Subject: [Histonet] Specimen Delivery

For those of you who do tissue/cytology  processing in a hospital or
similar facility: Are tissue or fluid specimens brought directly to the
Anatomic Pathology/Cytology area, or are specimens dropped off in a
clinical accessioning area ?  We are debating the pros/cons of having our
specimens dropped at a centralized location  since our Lab is becoming more
"spread out" and nurses are confused about where to bring stuff.
