Posting for a colleague: The lab and surgery are in the midst of an FMEA on how to best improve the flow of specimens from surgery to the lab. One of the ideas that came up was to modify in some way the tracking method the coast facilities are using for surgical specimens coming to GSRMC. The thought is to use something similar as an OE order that would create a "Tracking" specimen number for each specimen being submitted. A barcode label would be generated and put on the specimen. When it got to the lab, the lab would "receive" it similar to how we receive clinical specimens.
What I would like you to do for us is to ask the Meditech List Serve to find out how other labs are tracking surgery to lab specimens. Any help you could give us would be really appreciated.
