Good luck with Beaker. We switched in April and had many issues. Insist on a complete run through of a specimen, from collecting to billing before you go live. We had issues where our pathologist did not have access, printers were not linked, etc. Get used to the phrase "It's hard coded" which is used by the Beaker folks when something cannot be changed. The interface is more involved than with our homegrown database and now almost eight months later it is taking us about double the time to do the data entry. Also, schedule a 'At the elbow support person' to be in your lab area a full week when you go live. This is a Beaker term for someone who has experience using the system from another organization. And finally, get ready to start a lot of tickets, which is the way that your get something addressed in EPIC. The first day, I put in 34.

We are using a couple of big tungsten light bulbs and a Nikon d60 camera. We are a research lab working with sheep, so we get big lesions in big organs. I was wondering if anybody is using a Digital Gross Photography System and how they compare with a "more ytraditional" digital camera approach. As always, thank you so much for your opinions.

For autopsies at the Shriners hospital, we use handheld cameras, one operated by a professional photographer, and also an old copy stand with hot lights and a backlight and a Sony digital camera with a macro lens on an alpha lens mount adapter, which works pretty well. The new macro photography in the UTMB autopsy service is great -- you enter the case number and put the specimen on the stand, and the system handles focus, exposure and record keeping and provides excellent pictures. ________________________________________ From: Julio Benavides Silv?n via Histonet [histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 2:27 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] gross photography Hi there, May I ask you your opinion about which system you are using to take gross pictures?

The camera is mounted on the top oft he grossing-station, with an integrated PC+monitor and pedals for zooming and taking photos. Within this system you can mark the pictures, draw something, measure something ... In comparison to the older method with digital-camera, manual zoom etc. it is very conveniant. Picture quality is high. Gudrun -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Julio Benavides Silv?n via Histonet [mailto:histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.
