Becky,
We have CoPath in our lab. We keep a clipboard with the numbers 0-99 in
columns on multiple pages. We write the number series (2200, 2300, 2400,
etc.) at the top of each page as we get to it and manually assign numbers to
the specimes. We have to make sure we cross the numbers off of the
clipboard after labeling the specimens, so that we don't re-use any numbers.
This does happen occassionally, but it is correctable (just a pain!). We
then accession the specimens into the computer as soon as possible, making
sure the names and numbers match. This method gives us a chance to just get
specimens labeled and to the PA or pathologist without spending the time
first to log them into the computer.

Subject: Order Entry
Fellow AP Histonetters,
Our lab is shopping for a new computer system, and they all have a feature
that could turn our accessioning system upside down. With the system we
have now, we apply an accession number to the case with a preprinted
computer generated sticker. (I print 4,000 at a time.) In this way, we can
gross in over 60 cases first thing in the morning, and the medical
secretaries do order entry in the computer whenever they have time. With
the new computer systems, the case has to be entered before you can be
assigned an accession number and do gross. This will really slow us up,
especially since the medical secretaries think that now we will be doing the
order entry. So now I have to think outside the box. How do other people
do it that have heavy work loads and a computer system like the one I will
have?
Bec the Tec
