[Histonet] Labeling formats

Wed Oct 7 09:39:25 CDT 2015

Thank you so much for the article Sue.

After reading the article, I have determined that I will NOT be changing our labeling format (yr-prefix-accession number-part (alpha)-block number, as the article stated that there was inadequate evidence to support a specific labeling format.

 I however will be adding the 2nd identifier to our blocks and to the hand-written slides (prior to application of paper label, which has all the required information) beginning in 2016. 

 If we have a specimen that has been prepared (ex. FNA slides) by our personnel away from the accessioning area, we already include the 2 identifiers on the slides.  

We also already add the special stain name to the slides and labels.

Thanks again for the enlightenment.

Does anyone have a pre-publication release of that?
Or at least the recommendations ?

We use same as Valerie's here, but will change January 1, 2016 to the S-16-1234A-1 format to be in line with early released article "Uniform Labeling of Blocks and Slides in Surgical Pathology", a joint guideline from the CAP, NSH and Laboratory Quality Center. (Archives of Pathology and Lab Medicine special article accepted for publication 3-12-15).

I am curious on what formats that labs use for labeling. 
We use prefix-year-accession number-part(alpha)-block number(numeric) Example.  S15-12345-A1

If you use a different format can you share it here? 
Thanks.
