[Histonet] Computers and Equipment

[Gauch, Vicki]

Hi everyone,
We are currently looking at LIS systems and equipment  and are hoping to get some opinions.  If anyone has any information  on any of the following questions, I would really appreciate your help....

- For hospital based labs (~ 40,000-60,000 surgical cases/year)- what computer system (and version) do you use in
   your lab?

- Does it have bar code "tracking" system as part of it or do you use a "tracking" system from another vendor (and
        which one) ?

- What type of cassette and slide labelers/engravers do you use?

-What are the pros and cons of whatever system(s) and equipment you use?

-How long have you been using your current computer system?

-Are your pathologists satisfied with your computer system?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and have a great weekend !!
