[Histonet] contaminating patient requesition forms

[Bell, Lynne]

We place the requisitions in plastic pages.  Keeps the "gunk" off and can be cleaned repeatedly.

We used to have a form with two sheets. The front sheet was a "magic carbon" so the patient information was automatically transferred. During booking in of the specimen, we separated the sheets. The back sheet accompanied the specimen for the gross description and the top sheet went directly to the office. The top sheets were retained as they had the original signature.
