Thank you so much for the article Sue. After reading the article, I have determined that I will NOT be changing our labeling format (yr-prefix-accession number-part (alpha)-block number, as the article stated that there was inadequate evidence to support a specific labeling format.
I however will be adding the 2nd identifier to our blocks and to the hand-written slides (prior to application of paper label, which has all the required information) beginning in 2016. If we have a specimen that has been prepared (ex. FNA slides) by our personnel away from the accessioning area, we already include the 2 identifiers on the slides. We also already add the special stain name to the slides and labels. Thanks again for the enlightenment.
