Martha, we give it the same number sequence as any other surgical or cytology case, but we can identify our cases by "Specimen Class" so consults get a specimen class according to the type of consult - cyto, cytogyn, surgical, etc. The specimen class is printed on the labels for all materials.

My question involves how others are handling outside consult surgical and/or cytology cases. Do you assign them an unique number that identifies them as a consult as opposed to an inside case - SO20-XXXX verses S20-XXXX? We currently assign them as just another surgical case but I know some places do have outside consult designations. What is everyone doing? Thanks in advance for your input.
