RE: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists
I like Michael's solution. We used to give them out 10 cases at a time as they came off the stainer. Currently, I am in a lab that color codes blocks by service (GI, GYN, ENT, etc.) and these cases are all delivered to one location and whatever pathologist is assigned to that service picks up the cases in the respective box. Hope that helps.

RE: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists
The only way this will be worked out that everyone feels it is fair is if the 5 Dr's set down and talk it out. That way everyone has their say and input.

RE: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists
We divide the work up by trays and mark the number of trays on a dry erase board every day. I have 3 1/2 (1 part time) Pathologist and each day one is Primary, one is secondary and then there is the Cytology/Frozen section Pathologist. They rotate this each day. When the Hemepath guy has a lot of BM slides, we give him less surgical trays. They are great about helping each other out if one is super busy!!! WANDA G.

Re: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists
Mike is right. You will never satisfy 5 pathologists by making the decision yourself. They have to collectively agree on how they want it done otherwise somebody will get bent out of shape because they think their portion on the work is greater than others and it is unfair. You could be at the meeting and make suggestions but they need to make the final decision.
