RE: [Histonet] mislabeling of slides and blocks

[Amy Farnan]

Well, thank you to those that shared your policies. To those that just shared 
criticizism I wish you had shared  your policies as well. It would have been 
more helpful and maybe others would have benefited as well. Remember folks the 
histonet if for sharing information not negativity.  
 
Again, thank you to those that shared or emailed me offline.

If mistakes occur, the lab protocols must be altered to prevent the mistakes. 

If personnel can not or will not follow protocol to eliminate mistakes, then 
employment must be terminated. 

This is not being picky or unreasonable - ask any potential cancer patient 
relying on an accurate diagnosis.

Currrently I am working in a lab where I am the only tech., but in 
previous labs when mislabeling happened, the tech would be written up 
for it after one formal verbal warning. If they were written up 3 times 
in 6 months, then a suspension was possible (although never happens), 
then if the problem continued could lead to being fired. So, basically 
you would have to mislabel something or another 6 times in one year to 
be fired. 
Again...just my opinion...

[Histonet] Labeling issues

[Carrie Disbrow]

Hi All,
 We are writing more numbers as the year goes. S10-26,262 A1 - L1,  has a 
combination of 12 numbers and letters with a hyphen and comma. Only three more 
numbers compared to the beginning of the year with S10-126 A1 - L1 but the 
potential for more mistakes.   And what about the ergonomic issues of hand 
writing hundreds of slides per shift? And what about the stress of mislabeling 
that puts on the tech?  Anyone ever done any serious studies in their labs to 
see when errors occur? How was the need for bar coding presented to your 
institutions to convince the department of the need for the equipment?
Carrie
