[Histonet] frozen section- workload and billing

[Davis, Cassie]

Hi Histofolks,
       I need to pick yours brains...we are in the middle of building a workable computer system for our lab we have run into a hiccup when it come to frozen sections. As a tech I know there is actual hands on, stop what you are doing, do this now  work involved. My understanding from a billing perspective it is not "billable workload" but an "interdepartmental consultation between surgery and pathology". The problem is how to build the system so we get labels for our frozen section slides that does not interfere with the "billable workload" that is. I was thinking maybe it should be built in the system the same way a control slide is, does anybody have any suggestions?
