[Histonet] Quality Management Monitors

[Kim Donadio]

On this specific function I've always used a form that goes out with the first few trays. On that form about an Average of 10% daily cases is picked from these first few trays. The sheet ask. Microtomy good or poor with a comment area for cases chosen as poor.has who cut it as well The pathologist checks this form off with the first few trays each morning. I track for trends and can get a number To use for QM meetings

You will need to decide what % you want to track. Hope this helps.

I am not talking productivity, but quality.  How can we monitor these benches to help staff improve the quality of their work?  I don't want this to be punitive, but a learning experience for all.
