[Histonet] histology workload benchmark

[andrea conard]

Hi histonetters,
I'm conducting a small benchmark study regarding workload distribution and
times slides get to pathologists, etc. We are NJ healthsystem with 2
hospitals but only do histo in one. We do 14k cases/16k blocks/year, 500
IHC/month and some special stains.

If you are a hospital or institution comparable to ours please send me info
about the questions below.


How many cases/how many blocks, case mix?



How many histo techs, Pas, lab assistants, pathologists.



When do HTs start, what time do the first slides get out/last slides get
out.



If more than one campus are pathologists stationed at all campuses or only
go there for frozens.



Is there a histo lab at all campuses or are specimens couriered to the main
facility.



How long is the histo lab/ gross room open?



What other functions do the histotechs do? Accessioning, send out cases,
filing, morgue, charging, clerical?



I really appreciate any help and info I can get with this project.
