[Histonet] Assigning cases to pathologists

[Porter, Douglas]

Thanks for the great responses so far.
I did forget to mention we average about 700 blocks/day and have 12 pathologists.
Two are Hem. Path and two are Derm. Path.
That leaves 8 to divide the rest, not taking into consideration tumor conferences, vacations and such.

Currently the work is divided as follows:

FS/On call/QA
Surgical Odd#
Overflow
Surgical Even#
Overflow
Cytology
Support #1
Support #2
Outreach

Thanks again,

Histonetters,

I have been asked to find out how other institutions divide up cases to be given to your pathologists.
We give the Hem. Path. and the Derm. Path their respective cases.
So, how do you divide up the rest?
Currently, we divide them with one pathologist getting the odd numbered cases and another getting the even numbered cases.
There is one pathologist assigned to handle overflow on heavy days.

Thanks is advance,
