The "Two Identifiers" are for Intra-Operative (frozen section) slides
only, not routine H&E slides *ANP.11800* .... at least so far! Routine
slide information is listed under *ANP.21050 Specimen Identity*

Your manager is correct. You must have two patient identifiers through the
whole process. We write the full name, accession number and designation ( a, b
L1 ) on each slide. I have had both CAP and Joint Commission inspectors pull
the labels back looking for 2 identifiers.

Subject: [Histonet] Two Patient Identifiers on slides
Hello Histonetters,
Recently we started utilizing a slide labeling component that is built
into our AP Easy LIS system and has accession number, levels and patients first
and last name when labels are printed out. Dymo does not have a chemically
resistant label (we have a Dymo 450 printer) and we have been putting the
labels on AFTER the slides are stained and cover slipped.
In the meantime, the HT is writing in pencil the accession # and levels on the
slide which is then covered up with the permanent label after cover slipping.
Our Lab Manager is worried that we are not compliant as we do not have two
patient identifiers on throughout the whole process (she wants us to write
patient names on slides in pencil (before staining) and then cover that up with
the pre-printed label after staining.
1. What is everyone else doing?
2. Have any of you found a chemically resistant label compatible with the Dymo
labeler?
