I am looking for some great programs for lean management in a laboratory setting (both cytology and histology). Can anyone help me out?
Thank you,
LeAnn
Hi Leann, I reached out to our primary vendors (Leica, Ventana and Sakura) to come in and do a lean assessment. These companies provide free lean services you can ask for.

That sounds like a valid concern, Richard. Thank you for being an advocate for good utilization of patient testing. What is behind their concern? Do they think there has been a mistake with patient identification in your lab? Or are they trying to reconcile low PSA or other discordant screening test results with a diagnosis of prostate CA?
I would offer to send whatever they need from the lab (paraffin section curls, unstained slides, etc) back to their office, so long as they provide patient consent. The urologist's office can then package that material with the buccal swabs they get from the patient. The onus can be on them to manage the cost of the testing, and they can then try to justify it with the patient when insurance will not reimburse for it.
Is this option feasible?
Teri

Good afternoon Histoland folks,
other than documenting the ph of each Ventana bulk solution after diluting and visual inspections of slides run with that solution lot what other way is there to QC the EZ Prep, Reaction Buffer, and Liquid Coverslip bulks solutions? (we currently have a lively dialog going on about this)
There is always something to do and something new in Histology...

We have many clients who perform "Know Error" for their patients. What we do is send out only one site with malignancy (preferably the highest grade) instead of all sites. This cuts down on a lot of unnecessary work to be done by the tech and cuts costs for you. I find it easiest and most cost effective to send them the vial of tissue instead of the slides. I also believe that if you contact a Know Error representative you should be able to develop a contract to ensure reimbursement. Hope this helps!

Our laboratory has a new urology group who is demanding that we send-out every "Positive" (with CA) prostate biopsy for the "Know Error" DNA identity test. The test is used to confirm the identity of the patient diagnosed with cancer by matching the DNA in the cancer cells to that obtained from a buccal swab from the patient obtained in the doctor's office. In my opinion, this test is absolutely unnecessary; another expense ($1,700 list price) to our healthcare system that is not justified. In addition, the laboratory ends up doing a lot of work that it cannot get reimbursed for. However, I would like to hear from those of you who have experience with it. Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
I am using a Leica RM2255 microtome with a universal cassette clamp. Two of the clamps have broken over the past year.
Has anyone else had a problem with these?
