Our unit of measure is billable test. But, my director adds in extra (not sure how) for manual vs. automation in the clinical lab.

Are you going by block and slide or by CPT code? I have been told by the "Suits" that we can only measure productivity by per specimen or CPT code with no weight and value. As you know when you get a big case you can have a bunch of blocks on it therefore a bunch of slides. I do everything from GI specimens to big breast cases. They will tell me that our productivity is down and we need to cut hours. I just do not know exactly how to drill it in to them that things are not always as they appear on paper. I am talking in circles until I am blue in the face...AUGH!!!!!!
