RE: [Histonet] Paperless Histology
I have done this in a previous lab by going to a LIS with bar coding throughout the lab. It is not a quick and easy thing to do, but well worth it. I don't know of another way to do it. We are currently going the same route where I'm working now. It can be a long and tedious project - but again, well worth the work to get there.

RE: [Histonet] Paperless Histology
StellaI have worked at a couple labs that were basically paperless. The papers that they did have were more or less just hard copies for records since some people were not entirely trusting of an entirely electronic system. This was a while ago, and the choices from an IT perspective are surely much better now. Overall, I think it worked pretty well and did save alot of time ( and trees!), and did not have any more glitches than any paper based process I have worked in once it got up and running. I am sure any/all vendors of workflow management and LIS applications could provide you with details and options.

RE: [Histonet] Paperless Histology
And what about a paperless procedure manual? We have an electronic system, called Proquis, for our manuals. It sends an e-mail to all the appropriate people, when there is a new procedure to review or when old procedures are due for review. Pretty cool. The only drawback is, most of the time, people would rather grab a notebook to look up a procedure, rather than the cumbersome process of logging in, clicking thru a bunch of menus to view what you could have physically touched and seen in seconds. Plus, you better have a lot of terminals. Or better yet, let's issue I-Pads to all employees. ;-) We live in a brave new world! Sandy H.
