>>   I know this subject has come up again and again, and yes I went into
the
>>archives, but didn't find too many e-mails on subject.
>>
>>I would like to hear from relatively small labs please, how many cases you
>>do a year and how many histotechs you have. (if you want to break down
into
>>blocks and slides that would be great, otherwise I can go by just cases).
>>Do the histotechs do computer entry and billing or do you have clerical
>>staff that helps?  Do you know how many stains per year (immunos and
>regular
>>specials)?
>>
>>We have approximately 2,600 cases per year with the likelihood of getting
>>3,000 more per year from a nearby clinic.  So, my supervisor  needs to
have
>>some benchmarks to go to administration  with to hire additional help.  We
>>do immunos and do all of the computer entry and reports by ourselves (no
>>clerical staff).  We have an outside company that does the transcription.
>>
>>I would be very appreciatative if you would answer my questions and hlep
me
>>get more help!!!!
>>If you would like to call instead of e-mail that would be fine too.
>>
>>Also, if anyone in Northern WI is looking for a job------stay tuned!!!!!
