It was annouced by a histo lab manager that techs are expected to cut 40-50 blocks per hour. That seems to me to be rather high. I don't see quality slides being turned out. It is quantity and profit above patient care. I am old school, and I remember something about quality and patient first. Besides what kind of impact on morality of the techs, back problems and carpal tunnel syndrom is laying ahead for the cutter after cranking the microtome repeatedly that many blocks without a break.

As a histo lab supervisor I would never ask nor demand that my techs do
something that I cannot do myself. I would have to say that that number
sounds a little high to me, but it would depend on the type of specimens
being cut.

Absolutely! 40-50 bone marrows is completely different from 40-50 fallopian tubes. Are you just cutting one section per block?

No. My main duty is Ihc, but I heard the other techs, mostly the ones new to histology and some older techs who informed them on how obsurd and impossible that task would be for them to try to live up to that standard. The newbees thought that was what the speed of a histotech should be. They were told it did not matter what the tissue was accordding to CAP. Us older techs know different. But we need written documentation to show the young turks who are being bullied. Is there something to written to give them a leg to stand up.

Hi Dorothy:
Your manager is wrong and probably influenced by some "productivity consultant" trying to "appear tough" or preparing to justiffy a staff reduction.
The average sectioning productivity obtained in 325 histology laboratories (221?in the US and 114 in 24 foreign countries) is 24 blocks per hour.
Under separate cover I am sending two articles dealing with this issue and that of staffing that you will be able to show to your manager.
Ren? J.

Many years ago in histology training at AFIP, we were taught that the
"quota" was 30 blocks an hour.?? As someone stated before, certain
tissue types are easy to cut and are 1-2 sections per slide making
that 40-50 block/hr rate a bit reasonable. When you're leveling
prostates, skins,??cutting specials or unstained, working with dry,
difficult, or fatty tissue, slide turn out time is increased.??
I remember recently seeing someone talking about cutting 80 blocks/hr
and the folks I work with could see the multiple question marks above
my head because that seems impossible to me??at less than 30 seconds
per block.?? No offense to anyone who can do this.?? More power to
you!
I looked in a few histology books, but could not find a written
reference on how "fast" a tech should cut.?? Consistent, good sections
placed on the slide in a neat manner should also be factored into the
equation.

Although almost 20 years ago, the reference lab I worked in had similar expectations. They also had no idea that GARBAGE IN= GARBAGE OUT, and we had an unusually high number of recuts. Smaller sections in the cassette or longer fixation would have reduced that number.

Hi Dorothy:
Your manager is wrong and probably influenced by some "productivity consultant" trying to "appear tough" or preparing to justiffy a staff reduction.
The average sectioning productivity obtained in 325 histology laboratories (221?in the US and 114 in 24 foreign countries) is 24 blocks per hour.
Under separate cover I am sending two articles dealing with this issue and that of staffing that you will be able to show to your manager.
Ren? J.

It was annouced by a histo lab manager that techs are expected to cut 40-50 blocks per hour. That seems to me to be rather high. I don't see quality slides being turned out. It is quantity and profit above patient care. I am old school, and I remember something about quality and patient first. Besides? what kind of impact on morality of the techs, back problems and carpal tunnel syndrom is laying ahead for the cutter after cranking the microtome repeatedly that many blocks without a break.
