[Histonet] Productivity to include grossing

Hi. We have grossing histotechs in our lab and I’m wondering how to include their grossing time into our lab’s productivity values. I was recently told that the time spent grossing is not included in our productivity but is included in the professional fees that our pathologists charge. Does any

Re: [Histonet] Productivity Reports

Allison, One KEY to success I have found is to make sure your boss knows what he or she wants, and get an agreement on what you need to report before you start. It can be very frustrating to invest resources in reporting what isn't value added. My problem has always been, that determining ACTUA
