[Histonet] QC documentation

[Jesus Ellin]

We currently use our LIS to support this issue,, the tech are able to go
into the case and make comments about controls, staining, technical work
etc. There are places for comment section, etc.  I also use the LIS to
document Fixation time for specimens.  Multiple specimens are an issue,
but we are able to document that as well.  I then use the LIS to drill
down the data and get me what I want.  I still am using paper work,
since the Pathologist needs to sign off.  But the reports are attached
and reviewed by the Pathologist.  This also allows us to trend issues we
are having within the Department. I like it a lot.

Dorothy,

I'm only going to address what we are doing for IHC.  We have a custom 
worksheet that is printed from the LIS for each patient. We were totally

manual until 3 weeks ago when we went live with the Bond. We are still 
using our custom worksheet for the techs and pathologists.  Boxes for 
them to check off and write comments.  We just modified our IHC 
resulting tool and added fields for the pathologist to electronically 
record the QC.  The manual QC paperwork gets returned to the lab and can

be used for CAP and we can generate an electronic report also.  
Hopefully we'll get more paperless with time.

IHC?  We currently print out the run information from our stainer(s) and
have the tech initial for her QC and the pathologist sign after they
review the slides.  I am hoping that someone has a way of doing this
electronically.  I hope to learn of a better way to save some trees!!!
Thank you ahead of time!
