[Histonet] Transporting large amputations and QA review of reports

[Terri Braud]

1. Extremity carrier (Olszewski, Dawn)
I completely agree with Karen Bowden's response,
"I work in a research lab so this may not go over well.? How about using 
a cart and a child size body bag? You would not be able to see through 
the bag and there shouldn't be any smell and you most likely have a cart 
around the place"
This is exactly what we do.  The process is clean and neat and we also have to transport it through multiple patient areas.

4. Brandon Ward asked, "I'm wondering if any health systems have a quality program that includes a person(s) who audit final gross and final pathology reports?"
Our QA process reviews all of our reports that should contain synoptic reports.  These are reviewed by the Chief pathologist for the accuracy of the report information including the synoptic reports.

Just my 2 cents, Terri
