We currently use our LIS to support this issue,, the tech are able to go into the case and make comments about controls, staining, technical work etc. There are places for comment section, etc. I also use the LIS to document Fixation time for specimens. Multiple specimens are an issue, but we are able to document that as well. I then use the LIS to drill down the data and get me what I want. I still am using paper work, since the Pathologist needs to sign off. But the reports are attached and reviewed by the Pathologist. This also allows us to trend issues we are having within the Department. I like it a lot.

We have a custom worksheet that is printed from the LIS for each patient. We were totally manual until 3 weeks ago when we went live with the Bond. We are still using our custom worksheet for the techs and pathologists. Boxes for them to check off and write comments. We just modified our IHC resulting tool and added fields for the pathologist to electronically record the QC. The manual QC paperwork gets returned to the lab and can be used for CAP and we can generate an electronic report also. Hopefully we'll get more paperless with time.

We currently print out the run information from our stainer(s) and have the tech initial for her QC and the pathologist sign after they review the slides. I am hoping that someone has a way of doing this electronically. I hope to learn of a better way to save some trees!!!
