Great Question. No system can eliminate errors, but using a good system with
standard process will and has proven eliminated errors. I used the Vantage
System in my lab and the only errors we had in several years (about 1 to 2 per
year) occurred when staff were not following standard work and single piece
flow. These are very important LEAN concepts that work. I can't imagine
implementing a bar coding system without using LEAN workflow in a lab. Doing
so would be a great waste of money.JanOmaha

Subject: [Histonet] Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned
To anyone who has implemented a barcoding/specimen tracking system in
your lab. What lessons did you learn that would make it easier if you
did it over? We're starting the process and I would like to get some
input on things to look out for!
Thanks for any info and comments!
