We place the requisitions in plastic pages. Keeps the "gunk" off and can be
cleaned repeatedly.

We used to have a form with two sheets. The front sheet was a "magic carbon" so
the patient information was automatically transferred. During booking in of the
specimen, we separated the sheets. The back sheet accompanied the specimen for
the gross description and the top sheet went directly to the office. The top
sheets were retained as they had the original signature.
