[Histonet] Tracking surgical specimens brought to the lab

[Bell, Lynne]

For those of you who have specimens brought to your lab: do you have the person dropping off the specimen(s) initial a manifest to keep track of specimens actually dropped off.  Case in point - a physician's office says they dropped off a specimen and we have no record of it being accessioned.  I would like to track specimens dropped off and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

I appreciate any feedback!

Thanks,
