[Histonet] Assisting with Autopsies

[DKBoyd <@t> chs.net]

We have two histotechs who assist with autopsies.  It is part of their job 
description.   We also have an 800 number for an independent company that 
performs autopsies on site or at a local mortuary.  These are usually 
cases that are suspicious for litigation by the family.  We only perform 
autopsies on "in house" patients and at the attending physician's request.

[Histonet] Assisting with Autopsies






Hello All,

We are small hospital that does approximately 5-10 autopsies a year.  This 
being said our administration department does not want to hire a diener to 
assist with these autopsies. So I have decided to turn to all of you out 
there in histoland for a little poll.

Does your facility use histotechs or a diener to assist with the autopsy?


Thanks in advance for all of your help, Amy
