Meditech is an awful program for Pathology. I loved using Pathologix (the Software company... not the Reference lab that is stealing histology jobs from hospitals). Even Co-path is acceptable.
Meditech does not lend itself to Pathology as it does to clinical lab. It is cumbersome and not user friendly... no matter how well you are at using computers... and as we all know, Pa's and Pathologists like having a requisition to make notes on and refer back to. We luckily are still on downtime forms and we will not be moving into using Meditech for Doctors' orders..... Just my humble opinion!

We currently are the only dept that uses paper requisitions for Surgical Specimens and Cytology. For those of you out there that has gone through this transition, can you share any issues you have had? Thank you.
