[Histonet] procedural safeguards when accessioning identical sources

[Cynthia Pyse]

Carol
We mark all our prostates with dye for ease when embedding. For prostates
that need to be accessioned in order we alternate the color of the dyes,
hematoxylin, safranin, eosin. When grossing, the color of the dye used is in
the dictation. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Histonet] procedural safeguards when accessioning identical
sources 

Our lab has the policy of not accessioning back to back specimens of the
same source.  This helps us to ensure if there is a mix up the pathologist
can tell when reading the case.  For example if the specimen source is a
skin and they have an endocervical they would know.
We are soon to be getting a higher volume of prostates and will have to
accession them together.
What kind of procedural safeguards do you have in place when working with a
high volume of identical sources?
