[Histonet] Tracking OR specimens

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

We use the OR schedule and have a log at Surgical Pathology that the person delivering specimens places a patient label w/ the number of specimens delivered and they sign off. This has helped many times when OR believes they have delivered all the specimens. We use both the log and OR schedule to reconcile cases and contact OR is a case has not been delivered by end of day.

> 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?
