[Histonet] specimen log in sheets

[Frazier, John]

That's one of the most important aspects of the identity of the
specimen. I would never consider dropping that. If anything I would
consider dropping the patients name if the sign in sheet is in a
public area due to HIPPA compliance

Ours, currently require the Patient Information Sticker, Department #of containers, Time, Routine Fresh Frozen, Staff Initials, and Specimen Description. The Specimen Description is what this person wants to get rid of. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you can give me the size of your Institution Please.
