[Histonet] RE: Know Error

[Ingersoll, Donna S.]

This sounds like marketing scheme directly to the clinicians and expecting the lab to assume the reponsiblity for the costs.

Most problems are with the physician offices, not the lab, because they have bad practices like pre-labeling specimens. How does this fix that problem? You could have a buccal specimen and biopsy that match up fine but are on the wrong patient.

Seems like collecting a buccal smear just adds even more variables and opportunities for error. Spend that time properly labeling the ACTUAL specimen(s) and problem solved.

There is at least one lab that is offering Know Error testing on abnormal pap tests believe it or not. I didn't realize an abnormal pap test lead immediately to a hysterectomy......
