[Histonet] Specimen Delivery

[Horn, Hazel V]

We have a central drop off area.  Occasionally we will have shared
specimens with microbiology and shared fluid specimens with the clinical
lab.   This helps ensure all tests ordered are performed.   We pick up
our specimens from the central area.

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.
