I am sorry to tell you that having an aid in the gross room will increase the productivity of your PA by 25-30% because what you consider irrelevant tasks done by an aid will permit your PA to do what s/he is paid for and closing lids is not something that should be done by a better paid PA as compared with an aid salary.René J.

We have a PA that is employed by the pathology group that wants help in putting lids on and closing cassette. We use the Thermo-Cassette printer in the gross room and print cassettes from a bar-coded label on the container. No cassettes are preprinted and placed on the specimen container lids. Any help is greatly appreciated. Rick Garnhart HT(ASCP) Memorial Health System Histology Supervisor 1400 E.
