I'd like to apologize to the group. I had no intention of sending this out to the entire community.

We use Crystal Reports to generate patient reports that get faxed, printed, sent to EMR's, etc. You, as the user of the system, can make your reports look anyway you'd like and can make them different per specimen or per requesting doctor, for example. Of course, you can also add graphics as well. Feel free to email me back or call at your convenience. Depending on your location, we could set up an onsite demonstration as well. My office is just north of Seattle and I know that Cortex had a lot of Northwest installations since they were Seattle based.

[Histonet] pathology reports
We scan all outside laboratory reports (including consultations, flow cytometry, special immunohistochemistry, molecular tests, etc) and insert the scanned material into an addendum which is electronically tied to the primary report. If the outside report has graphic material (ie, material that cannot be converted into a "WORD" format) it has to be excised because at least our vision of Cerner Millenium will not permit non-text material to be inserted into the report document (We use an Epson scanner and Epson program that does a very handy job of converting PDF documents into WORD documents and allows for the excision of non-WORD material---like fancy headers). When appropriate, ie, it is not obvious what the results mean, we may add our own comment about how these results should be interpreted in the setting of our other material. This saves a lot of transcription (which use to be the way we accomplished this) and avoids transcriptional errors. It generally allows capture of the name and address of the outside laboratory, which is a CLIA requirement. Incorporating the results of special tests into the report is a CAP requirement.

When you have results from an outside lab, i.e. flow results, bone marrows, ect. How do you integrate this into your path report? It is a verbatim copy inside the report in the same format as the outside lab? Or can it be a copy with the results in a different format? A discussion has occurred within in or transcription department over this matter. We do attach the outside report to the hard copy report in our paper file.
