RE: [Histonet] Peripheral Blood Smears
We are running a Romanowsky stain which is the same as our hematology department (same stain, same reagents and stainer). Perhaps I should mention, we also assist with and stain all bone marrows as well. We are a relatively small hospital (260 beds) we have 3 pathologist and everyone has a say in what goes down. All three perfer that we do the staining, assisting etc. Of course, that could be a compliment to our department. Debbie M.

Re: [Histonet] Peripheral Blood Smears
It seems odd to me that Histology is producing a better Wright Giemsa than Hematology can. It's their bread and butter. Who is the pathologist over Hematology? Perhaps y'all can have a little pow-wow, and help Hematology improve their stain. (Is it that your pathologists want a manual stain and hematology is using an automated stainer and the docs don't like the way it looks? Automated stainers can be tweaked. Besides, hematology should be able to do manual stains.) On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 9:02 AM, wrote: > > I would love to get them out of histology, but the pathologist want us to > stain them.

RE: [Histonet] Peripheral Blood Smears
Show your Pathologist that by moving the peripheral smears back to Hematology, they will be able to correlate the smear with the rest of the patients blood work. Have your Lab LIS person work with Hematology and build a template to attach the smear report to the rest of the patients blood work. The reason your Pathologist want/have this in histology is because the dictate the smear and the only area that has dictation in the lab is Histology. It is a mind set they have. -Original Message- From: Nails, Felton [mailto:flna...@texaschildrens.org] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 8:57 AM To: Mike Pence; dkb...@chs.net; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: RE: [Histonet] Peripheral Blood Smears I have been fighting this battle for years and still have not been successful. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Mike Pence Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 8:44 AM To: dkb...@chs.net; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: RE: [Histonet] Peripheral Blood Smears You're a Histology Dept.!
