Below is how we function as well.  We have 18 OR suites and the hospital
size is just shy of 300 beds.

(Formalin/Fresh/Saline?)


We receive our OR specimens fresh and they are brought to the Frozen
Section Room located in the OR by OR personnel.  Our hospital has
apprximately 630 beds.

I was just wondering how other Histology Labs receive their specimens
from
the Operating Room (OR). Also, how do the specimens come to the Lab?
(Do
Histology personnel pick up the specimens? Or do OR personnel or a
separate
transport service bring them?) If you could include how many beds your
facility has as well, I'd appreciate it. Thanks,
