RE: [Histonet] LIS questions

Good morning, I’d like to take up the issue of server vs cloud in Kelly’s original email. I have some thoughts that I’d like to share, but more importantly, I’d like to hear other people’s opinions. This is going to be a continuing ‘hot topic’ in the LIS world for years to come and I think it

RE: [Histonet] LIS questions

When we start talking about the issues associated w/ server vs. cloud in healthcare, I think discussion needs to start w/ and be centered on capability of compliance and enforcement, as it relates to HITECH Act, HIPPA and delivery of ePHI. There is a complexity added as more health information

RE: [Histonet] LIS questions

RE: [Histonet] LIS questions

William, you bring up a very good point, but I”d like to respond to your concerns this way: 1.I don’t know how my online banking security works, but It does. I have to believe that the industry and ‘cloud based’ LIS vendors have already solved this issue or that they will in the short

[Histonet] RE: Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned

Hi Tim, One thing I did not anticipate that was an unfortunate eye opener. When humans are given a scanner to read barcodes they seem to trust the technology so much that they stop reading with their eyes. We had an unfortunate incident where the wrong barcode label was placed onto a

[Histonet] Napsin A

RE: [Histonet] RE: Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned

Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?), pretty much all technology can be foiled by human beings. We've seen this scenario before as well. We tell our accession personnel that they must accession and label one case at a time, but when it comes down to it, there is no real way to FORCE people

Re: [Histonet] RE: Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned

Vinnie. I as well found some quirks with this technology and I'm glad you brought up that it isn't perfect. I had a bog issue with the fact that you couldn't scan all your cassettes when putting on the machine as I felt that was the time errors needed to be noticed and fixed. Because finding

RE: [Histonet] RE: Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned

in order to protect the innocent I want to mention that the lost kidney biopsy that was successfully found in a mountain of red bag waste occurred at another facility and not where I am currently employed. This is one of those experiences you never forget but fortunately had a happy ending

RE: [Histonet] RE: Barcoding specimen tracking, lessons you learned

Dumpster diving should be rare among histotechs, but I suspect we have all done it in one form or another at some point in our careers. Vinnie, yours is the most extreme senerio I recall. Bill -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu
