[Histonet] Discussion on managing coverage gaps for MOHS Surgeries

Hi everyone,

I wanted to open a discussion around something I'm seeing more frequently across MOHS with my dermatology clients and MOHS Surgeon clients.

Traditional paraffin histology has a bit more leeway than MOHS histology when it comes to being suddenly short staffed.

How is everyone in the dermatopathology lab currently handling last-minute coverage gaps in MOHS or understaffed for MOHS Techs?

Cross-training internal staff?
Adjusting schedules on the fly?
Building in backup coverage?
Limiting case load when short-staffed?

Would love to hear what's working (and what's not) across different practices for any dermatopathology lab out there.

I think this is an area where sharing approaches could really help everyone navigate the day-to-day challenges more effectively.

Looking forward to the discussion.

Best,
