[Histonet] Requisitions

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

I am not aware of any CAP regulation that requires the requisition to remain w/ the specimen. The pathologist/PA at gross dissection needs to be able to positively confirm/verify the specimen container information (two forms of patient ID and specimen source) w/ the order entry information (taken from the requisition). There are many labs that are paperless during the technical process and I see more and more use of electronic requisitions and orders.
