[Histonet] RE: Meditech Downtime

[Wanda.Smith <@t> HCAhealthcare.com]

Amy,
Happy Friday to you!!!
We normally stamp our requisitions with a number and when accessioning we tell Meditech what the number is rather than Meditech assigning a number to the case.  So, when there is a down time, we continue stamping the requisitions, labeling the specimens, making the cassettes and grossing in.  After Meditech comes back up, we accession all the specimens at once.
Hope this helps.
Wanda

Happy Friday Histonetters,

For those of you on Meditech Pathology Module or any other pathology computer system what procedure do you follow for down time?   Do you have a time frame that you go by for the amount of time that the computer system will be down for before you start doing everything manually?  Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thanks in advance for your help,   Amy
