RE: [Histonet] Specimen Delivery
We have a central drop off area. Occasionally we will have shared specimens with microbiology and shared fluid specimens with the clinical lab. This helps ensure all tests ordered are performed. We pick up our specimens from the central area.

RE: [Histonet] Specimen Delivery
Tissue specimens are brought directly to pathology. Cytology fluids are dropped off in Processing, because often fluids need to be shared between several departments, and our Cytology dept doesn't necessarily know that it is a shared specimen. Processing can look it up in the LIS.

RE: [Histonet] Specimen Delivery
Here, all the surgical specimens are delivered directly to the Histology lab. All other specimens are delivered to the Specimen processing area (SPA). This way all specimens that need to be shared can be done there.
