[Histonet] RE: Tracking OR specimens

[Rathborne, Toni]

We are able to view a pending log. Once a patient is in the OR, nurses will place an order for the specimen. If we have not received the specimen in the anticipated time, we will call.

Subject: [Histonet] Tracking OR specimens

Are there any histology labs that actively participate in auditing the Operating Room on a daily basis to make sure that histology receives all of the specimens that the OR should have submitted?  If so, how do you do this?  Or should the OR be solely responsible for making sure that they specimens make it to histology?
