Unfortunately, many facilities are only counting billable tests and all the recuts, sendouts, and work done pulling cases for conferences cannot be counted. It is a nightmare that needs to be addressed!! My 2 cents...j

You should know how many cases and blocks you process by day, week or year, and you also know how many hours your staff uses to complete the tasks derived from those cases and blocks. The total work completed between the staff members completing them during a given amount of time will allow you to calculate productivity. If you are referring to which to select, the case is relevant for the pathologists, the slide for the cytotech and the block for the histotech because they refer to what the usually handle.

I've inquired to CAP; they do not have any material available at this time nor recommendations. I've looked at CPT codes but they only reflect billable services in pathology; descriptions are fairly general and cannot be broken down into tasks of the tech. Looked in the Histonet archives; found information not too current. Thanks for any information.
