Hi histonetters, I'm conducting a small benchmark study regarding workload distribution and times slides get to pathologists, etc. We are NJ healthsystem with 2 hospitals but only do histo in one. We do 14k cases/16k blocks/year, 500 IHC/month and some special stains.
If you are a hospital or institution comparable to ours please send me info about the questions below. How many cases/how many blocks, case mix? How many histo techs, Pas, lab assistants, pathologists. When do HTs start, what time do the first slides get out/last slides get out. If more than one campus are pathologists stationed at all campuses or only go there for frozens. Is there a histo lab at all campuses or are specimens couriered to the main facility. How long is the histo lab/ gross room open? What other functions do the histotechs do? Accessioning, send out cases, filing, morgue, charging, clerical? I really appreciate any help and info I can get with this project. *Andrea Conard, HT(ASCP)* *Pathology Supervisor* *AtlantiCare** Regional Medical Center*** *Phone: 609-441-8168* *Fax:609-441-2195* You can emaill to andrea.con...@atlanticare.org _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
