What types of checks and balances do you have in place for specimen accessioning. We had a incidcent where I was accessioning a case and I did not catch that the name on the container was different from the name on the requisition. The resident grossing did not catch it either. They usually peel back the copath label and look at the name on the label that came from the procedure area. In my case the resident did not do this. It was not until the pathologist saw a discrepancy in the age on the requisition and what was written in the pertinent history, that it was determined that it had been mislabeled from the beginning. I did a incident report and the area was cited. Besides making sure that who ever is accesioning cases checks that the names match, what else can be done? Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
