We have converted an ambulance to a mobile frozen section lab.  We have a
cryostat, microscope, eyewash station, etc., etc..  It, because it is a lab,
is inspection by CAP on a regular two year rotation like our other labs.  If
you are interested, let me know and I'll send you some pictures to better
demonstrate what we've done.  We just drive to the location where the
surgery is taking place and do the frozen section right there, on site.  I
say we, I mean our pathologist drives the mobile lab to the site, does the
frozen section and returns with the specimen.  They get their frozen section
results by cell phone and we follow up with the hard copy report or fax
copy.  It's actually quite slick!

Our nearby surgery centers send the frozens to us. We have a distant
hospital where the frozens are performed and the rest of the path is sent
here, along with slides, etc. The pathologists rotate going to that
hospital.

Hope this helps, j

Subject: [Histonet] off site frozen sections

I am curious to find out if there is anybody out there that performs frozen
sections off site (i.e hospital owned surgery center) and then performs the
remaining pathology at the main hospital.  We are currently looking into
doing this and are stumbling over the logistics of how to make this happen.
Any insight would be appreciated

Thanks,
Allison
