[Histonet] Physician Signatures
Is everyone concerned about getting a physician's signature on requisitions, or do you have a fool proof plan in place? Inquiring minds want to know... TIA! How many of you have electronic ordering for AP? This from CodeMap Compliance that I get.. Signatures Required on Laboratory Requisitions Although many professional groups and organizations lobbied against the signature requirement, CMS is implementing this provision as part of the CY 2011 MPFS. Starting January 1, 2011, the ordering physician must sign all written or paper requisitions for laboratory tests and services. Clinical laboratories will have to scramble to revise requisitions to include a signature line for the ordering physician. However, those labs that receive test orders via electronic or web-based interfaces should not be affected by the signature requirement included in the 2011 MPFS. In the comments to the proposed 2011 MPFS, CMS states, Our proposed policy does not concern electronic or telephonic requests, because we do not consider these types of requests to be requisitions. As we discussed previously, a requisition is the actual paperwork, such as a form that is provided to a clinical diagnostic laboratory that identifies the test or tests to be performed for a patient.

RE: [Histonet] Physician Signatures
It's wonderful that you are ahead of the game. I have electronic orders from GIDU and Breast Health, but haven't been able to get the ORs on board yet. I am hoping this will be the push they need to comply. Sure would make it easier! How does your order work? Our electronic order generates a paper requisition. - one in the lab and one to send with the specimen. Surgery says they don't have good access to printers, et. Do you have multiple frozens on complicated cases that require a requisition with one? And one they can write the special instructions on, etc?

[Histonet] Cap guidelines
Hey, I have a question. I was wondering if there are what the CAP regulations are for grossing, and if cutting bones for diagnosis falls into the same category as grossing other tissues. In out lab we have a PA who grosses all of the specimens. However the HT's cut down bone sections for bones that have avascular necrosis, fracture, etc. . . as the pre surgical diagnosis. I am trying to find out if this practice would be ok in the eyes of CAP or if the PA should be doing that as well.

RE: [Histonet] Physician Signatures
This is true about electronic ordering but there is a provision on what is acceptable for electronic order, just ordering in a system and spitting out requisitions does not comply, There needs to be password verification and review of this information by the clinician before it is ordered and sent to the laboratory performing the service when the requisition is created. They go on to say that orders and requisitions are different aspects and should not be confused. IF the orders are just received through an electronic interface then there is a difference. But if the specimen is received using any paper form then this needs to be signed by the clinician either electronically or manually. We are looking at this really closely, with using paper requisitions, even orders from the OR for frozens, molecular studies, interoperative work, all needs to be signed by the surgeon. Can you imagine the impact that this is going to cause. Our current solutions is to have maybe standing orders in place and move and look at process within the Main OR's, outpatient OR and clients. Once again a huge problem,, but Bill is right this will lead to more and more paperless enviroments.

[Histonet] RE: Physician Signatures
We have the physicians sign the reqs. The surgeons sign them before the req goes to the chart and that copy is stored electronically in the EMR. We get a copy in our lab.

Inquiring minds want to know... TIA! How many of you have electronic ordering for AP? This from CodeMap Compliance that I get.. Signatures Required on Laboratory Requisitions Although many professional groups and organizations lobbied against the signature requirement, CMS is implementing this provision as part of the CY 2011 MPFS. Starting January 1, 2011, the ordering physician must sign all written or paper requisitions for laboratory tests and services. Clinical laboratories will have to scramble to revise requisitions to include a signature line for the ordering physician. However, those labs that receive test orders via electronic or web-based interfaces should not be affected by the signature requirement included in the 2011 MPFS. In the comments to the proposed 2011 MPFS, CMS states, Our proposed policy does not concern electronic or telephonic requests, because we do not consider these types of requests to be requisitions. As we discussed previously, a requisition is the actual paperwork, such as a form that is provided to a clinical diagnostic laboratory that identifies the test or tests to be performed for a patient.

RE: [Histonet] Physician Signatures
I previously did not go into to deep detail about security and compliance, but in our system all computer portals are password protected, orders are signed with electronic signature of the ordering person and when a hard copy paper form is printed, the ordering physician's electronic signature is applied. It is the same type of process and signature that is used by the pathologist to electronically sign off all pathology reports. I absolutely agree that you must control access to ordering and maintain integrity in the system. As you work through your process to develop a more electronic system, you will have the opportunity to build in and require proper controls. With those controls implemented, you can then become confident that the electronic process can and will meet your regulatory requirements.

So how do the surgeons electronically order a test? Do they order it before the procedure? What if they discover something and need to add an additional specimen? Our orders are electronically entered in the OR during the procedure.

RE: [Histonet] RE: Cassette/slide labelers - again
I'm sorry to say, but I think you're missing a major point here. Ideally, the cassettes should print when the specimen is scanned at the grossing station. Only the cassettes for the specific specimen should print. In that manner, there are no pre-printed cassettes and no cassettes wrongly associated with the specimen. Unfortunately, not all systems work that way. If your system does not work that way, then 'yes' there is still an advantage to using machine imprinted cassettes, but you're not getting ALL the benefits. I guess, I tend to agree with your pathologists. Pre-printed anything can get mixed up. If you have to do that, you need to have some sort of manual or automated double check.

[Histonet] cassette labelers, etc
The response by M. Mihalik nails the problem. Anything that is batched (cassette labeling, slide labeling, case labeling) is known to be high risk for mistakes even though it may seem to be more efficient.

RE: [Histonet] Physician Signatures
They sign into the case prior to surgery, they have Physician Assistant (PA) assigned to the case, a nurse is assigned to the case and they then enter additional information into the system after they complete surgery. It meets requirements. In Pathology, many of your Frozen Section specimens arrive in the lab on verbal orders or nursing applying a signature and we have processed for years. I believe the key point that you have to wrap your head around is that the electronic orders by the surgeon are complete before there is any delivery of results, the signed and preliminary or final report by the pathologist and that meets regulatory requirements. I have more concern on the clinical side. Orders can be entered, tests performed and results delivered more easily than in Pathology.
