[EXTERNAL] [Histonet] VA LIS

[McAnn, Sherrian]

It's true and I do know that we are currently in process of upgrading to
barcode reading ability. I don't know if this applies to all areas of
our hospital but have heard rumors that it is happening.  It's just
seems to be a slow process. LOL

Good morning all,

To those working in the VA system, what LIS are you using? We are
currently accessioning through Vista which if you work in the VA is used
for many other processes such as timekeeping and ordering supplies but
it is extremely archaic and not ideal for anatomic pathology, (in my
humble opinion). Our barcoding is not interfaced with Vista and I am
trying to convince management to upgrade to COPATH, WINDOWPATH, or
POWERPATH, really anything other than what we have now. I have been told
all VA Histology labs only use VISTA and I hope to God this is not true.
So if anyone works at a VA, used to work there or know someone who works
there, please contact me to let me know what you are using and how your
process works. Thank you in advance.
