RE: [Histonet] RE: Slide Consults

it doesn't bother me to have two labels/tracking numbers. I retain theirs so 
that they keep the liability of identification with the patient blocks and 
specimen source since I do not have these items to be able to cross check with 
the slides. The in- house ID is really just for in house processing and 
tracking, and to be able to use the LIS to capture for QC reports. I leave both 
visible though and both appear on all work-products.  You just ignore the other 
number when filing and it seems to not be a problem.

 We do not cover the referring institution label.   Will place our label on 
 front if there is clear area; if not, our label is placed on the back of the 
 slide, at the frosted end.

 I am ok with them putting the label on the front as long as it does not 
 obscure our label. Especially since our label contains bar codes we use for 
 tracking and storage.

 I think it's pretty standard that outside institutions put their accession ID 
 on the front of the consult slides.

 Would it be rude to ask other hospitals that review my slides to NOT WRITE 
 their accession number on the front of my slides, but instead put their 
 accession number on the back of my slides? Sometimes, I get slides back that 
 have stickers on the front under my accession number or they'll hand write 
 their accession number under mine.  I feel like I should scribble out the 
 other institution number so that it doesn't confuse any of us refilling 
 slides. What are your thoughts?  Would anyone like to share their slide send 
 out form?
 
 Thanks!

Amber,
My lab buys half size colored slide labels and we place them on the 
bottom of the slide, they are just a little bit bigger than the size of the +'s 
on plus slides. We have a printer for consult slide labels which when they are 
received we print these half labels. They do not obscure the labels from the 
submitting lab, and we can scan our slides for future reference and 
electronically attach them to the case, with both numbers intact.

Well, if you put the label on the back of the slide, it becomes very difficult 
for me to move the slide under the microscope!

Surely it's time for us to get Whole Slide Imaging to replace mailing slides 
around, now that the units have got down to about the price of a good 
microscope. But at 75 I won't see it!
