[Histonet] in regards to review of peripheral smears

[Mary Benoit]

In our lab, the hematology dept has a form that they present to the pathologist with a manual differential( if only an automated one was done originally) and CBC with abnormal results , and a list of check boxes indicating whether they "agree with technologist interp" or if a "written consult is needed".  At THAT time the case is then accessioned into the anatomic side, a report generated with pathologist's interp, recommendation etc and appropriate charges are made.
