Tanya, you can probably put either date/time into the receive date/time prompt of your LIS. It just depends on how you want to use that information. For instance, perhaps you want to look at turn around times.
>From the lab's perspective, the 'clock' starts when the sample is
>received
in the lab. On the other hand, from the physician's perspective, it starts at sample collection and from the organization's perspective the clock might start when the sample was put in the fridge.
If it was 'me', I'd probably put the date/time the sample was received in the lab and I'd make sure the other information was either scanned into the
case via paper or somehow noted somewhere else. The reason for my thinking
is that those cases received off shift are going to skew your turnaround times if that's something you measure.
Bottom line, it just depends on what you're using that information for.

Subject: [Histonet] Receipt of specimens
I am curious as to how everyone handles the receipt of their surgical, and Cytology specimens in to the lab? Especially on the off shift hours? Other clinical lab specimens are received directly in the computer in Specimen Processing when they come in the door from remote locations or via the tube system, then delivered to departments. During the day, specimens get dropped off directly to Pathology by the various departments collecting (ie. OR, Radiology, etc). On our off shifts, specimens get received by Specimen Processing(date/time stamped and initialed) and put in the fridge for Histo/Cyto the next day. When Histo and Cyto put the specimens in the computer, for the "receive date", they go by the date the specimens are "received" (or unpacked) in Histo/Cyto. I am thinking we should go by the date/time Specimen Processing received them in to the actually laboratory where the specimens are then "controlled".
Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

I actually use three different times for tracking since it means different things to different people. I track collection to sign out, received in the lab to sign out, and report ready to sign out.

We have six Leica RM2255 and they are great workhorses. The automated controls are flexible as they can be on either side or on top of the microtome as needed or is most comfortable. I personally like using the foot pedal for facing the blocks and I do get old fashion and cut my sections manually. I can do it automatically just like to be hands on for the final steps.

Good morning everyone.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback about whether anyone uses sterile slides for FNAs, if you do them. While most of the radiologists transfer the core from the end of the needle onto the slide by using a scalpel to assist, we have one radiologist who prefers to place the core directly onto the slide by using the needle. This is fine, unless he needs to go back in and make another pass. If the needle has touched a slide which is not sterile, then the needle would have to be changed to prevent contamination of the site. Does anyone use sterile slides, and are these available in a small quantity so that there is no waste?
Vendors are welcome to reply to me directly, unless others would like the information as well.

We make our own sterile slides. We package 2 slides per package and send to sterile processing where then sterilize them for us. We then let the radiologist smear/touch/do their thing on the slide and the needle remains sterile. You can make up 200 packets in just a few minutes and save a lot of $$.

We make our own sterile slides. We package 2 slides per package and send to sterile processing where then sterilize them for us. We then let the radiologist smear/touch/do their thing on the slide and the needle remains sterile. You can make up 200 packets in just a few minutes and save a lot of $$.

Subject: [Histonet] Sterile slides for FNA
Good morning everyone.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback about whether anyone uses sterile slides for FNAs, if you do them. While most of the radiologists transfer the core from the end of the needle onto the slide by using a scalpel to assist, we have one radiologist who prefers to place the core directly onto the slide by using the needle. This is fine, unless he needs to go back in and make another pass. If the needle has touched a slide which is not sterile, then the needle would have to be changed to prevent contamination of the site. Does anyone use sterile slides, and are these available in a small quantity so that there is no waste?
Vendors are welcome to reply to me directly, unless others would like the information as well.
Toni
