[Histonet] Requisitions

[Douglas Porter]

There are times when the requisition and the specimen are labeled
differently.  Many offices pre-label their specimen containers, take the
specimen from a different source and forget to change the label on the
container.  They make the change on the requisition and then you have a
discrepancy.  The grosser is a perfect double check to make sure everything
matches.  It will keep you from having to amend reports that go out before
the discrepancy is discovered.

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.
