[Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists

[Michael Mihalik]

Good morning,

By the way, if anyone wants an LIS perspective, we've been requested to distribute slides according to:

1.  slides per case or relative value units per case
2.  specimen type
3.  pathologist availability for the day
4.  requesting facility
5.  requesting clinician
6.  and of course, 'manual override'

I can also tell you when the computer assigns the cases to a pathologist it takes a lot of the political burden off of the accessioning, grossing, and histology personnel.

We have one simple way of doing it. He who Grosses is he who reads.

Boy, they sure like to put us in the middle of what should be their own problem. Thank heavens I only work now for one Dr at a time now but when I was at a larger place they rotated. They still used to tell us to give them particular cases when it was not their turn so that we got the flak when someone did not get what they thought was theirs. You can never win! :)

Here the slides go through the hands of one pathologist, who distributes the cases.

Betreff: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists


Hello Netters:
I am looking for some ideas regarding slide distribution amongst pathologists.
Currently one Dr. reads all the surgicals and one other reads the cytology and bone marrows.
We now have 5 Dr.s and they are looking for ways to disperse the work evenly per day.
Thanks
:)
