Is everyone concerned about getting a physician's signature on requisitions, or
do you have a fool proof plan in place? Inquiring minds want to know... TIA!
How many of you have electronic ordering for AP?
This from CodeMap Compliance that I get..

Wow...didn't realize how addicted to Histonet I'd become till

I am looking to purchase a grossing hood and am in need of the requirements for

Like everyone else we are struggling with how to get everyone to comply. If
anyone has any plans I think the whole group could benefit. Right now our
institution is getting together to figure out a way to get the information out
to the surgeons, etc but no concrete plans.

I work in an integrated health system that has 9 Hospitals and 100's of
outreach clients. All our hospitals are using Computerized Physician Order
Entry (CPOE) for all tests ordered and our outreach clients use Electronic
Order Entry via interface to their system or our web based system or
It's wonderful that you are ahead of the game. I have electronic orders from
GIDU and Breast Health, but haven't been able to get the ORs on board yet. I am
hoping this will be the push they need to comply. Sure would make it easier!
How does your order work? Our electronic order generates a
Sorry to boot this dog around a bit more, BUT - We have Cerner CoPath plus
and Dragon speak and are looking at Thermo and General Data. Do they interface
smoothly? Do your cassettes get printed at accession or grossing? Are you
using multiple colors of cassettes? What are you doing for
We have GE Ultra - formerly Triple G.
Cassettes are printed on our Sakura printer at accessioning (number is attached
to the specimen) and more printed at grossing if needed.
We use multiple colors of cassettes - the color is tied to the specimen of can

Do you find that the number of errors has decreased since you have implemented
this? Our pathologists are hesitant because they worry too many pre-printed
cassettes could get mixed up.

Hey, I have a question. I was wondering if there are what the CAP regulations
are for grossing, and if cutting bones for diagnosis falls into the same
category as grossing other tissues. In out lab we have a PA who grosses all of
the specimens. However the HT's cut down bone sections for bones
I don't have documentation to say there's a decrease or increase, but we don't
find it to be a problem at all. The cassettes are put on top of each container
and seem to live there. We do have them bar-coded and in our ideal world, we
would check, but our system doesn't work all the way through
This is true about electronic ordering but there is a provision on what
is acceptable for electronic order, just ordering in a system and
spitting out requisitions does not comply, There needs to be password
verification and review of this information by the clinician before it
is ordered and sent
I had that concern about our electronic orders, because it certainly is just
spitting out a paper.
We must do something! How can we make CMS hear us? ASCP just send an email that
a hospital is OR says it is unjust. j

We have the physicians sign the reqs. The surgeons sign them before the req
goes to the chart and that copy is stored electronically in the EMR. We get a
copy in our lab. From our clinics the docs sign the reqs in clinic.

I previously did not go into to deep detail about security and compliance, but
in our system all computer portals are password protected, orders are signed
with electronic signature of the ordering person and when a hard copy paper
form is printed, the ordering physician's electronic signature
So how do the surgeons electronically order a test? Do they order it before the
procedure? What if they discover something and need to add an additional
specimen? Our orders are electronically entered in the OR during the procedure.
The surgeon is scrubbed and performing the procedure while the
I'm sorry to say, but I think you're missing a major point here. Ideally, the
cassettes should print when the specimen is scanned at the grossing station.
Only the cassettes for the specific specimen should print. In that manner,
there are no pre-printed cassettes and no cassettes wrongly
The response by M. Mihalik nails the problem. Anything that is batched
(cassette labeling, slide labeling, case labeling) is known to be high
risk for mistakes even though it may seem to be more efficient.
On-demand-labeling is the key to significantly reducing identification
errors.

They sign into the case prior to surgery, they have Physician Assistant (PA)
assigned to the case, a nurse is assigned to the case and they then enter
additional information into the system after they complete surgery. It meets
requirements. In Pathology, many of your Frozen Section specimens
hi all
i miss you several days.
we are medium research lab and looking forward to bring scanning transmission
electron microscope . so which manufacture or brand and model you recommend us
and average price ??
any offers are welcomed to my mail
thanx in advance

We purchased Thermo's Gross Lab Senior grossing stations. A rule of
thumb is for these to pull at 450-500 CFM. If you purchase the hoods
that include the fan motor, these are factory set to this. We hooked
ours in to the hospital ventilation system so it was a bit trickier to
achieve this
You should call Tony from Mopec... we got ours from him and he goes the extra
mile...
He was there at installation and did a few separate in-service training. He
and his engineers even customized the CFM to give us greater suction!

I will be out of the office starting 12/17/2010 and will not return until
12/28/2010.
I will be out of the country and I will have limited access to emails, I
will try my best to answer as soon as possible.
Have a safe and merry holiday season!!!
Oh man! The first time Histonet stopped working, I thought it was my email...
but this time I knew better! And I too didn't realize how much I looked
forward to the messages/thoughts/questions shared on this board.
So histonet, what's been causing the problem?
