[Marcum, Pamela A]

UAMS refers to it as HIPPA requirement and when we were inspected it was commented was a great cross check.   Pam

What check list question states that there "must be two identifiers" on the slide and the cassette? I don't see it! Mike

We use the specimen or accessioning number and the patient name as the two identifiers and that seems to meet the criteria.  We use the Thermo cassette writer and it transfers the information to the slides.

Hello all,

For those of you using cassette and slide labelers....
Does your system permit you to print the accession number, patient name, and  DOB on the face of the cassette?  Are you using the specimen number and name as your two identifiers?
