[Histonet] slide printer back up

[Nirmala Srishan via Histonet]

Need opinions on this matter.

What is the back up plan in your institution, for slide printers and 
cassette printers?   Are you going back to handwriting slides and putting 
a label or using  xylene resistant labels directly on to your slides.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Histonet] Pathology amended reports

[histotech--- via Histonet]

We layer the amended/addended report information at the top of the 
printed/faxed report. We do not allow for changing the original report, as that 
is a legal document.  Further, if an amendment or addendum is needed and the 
report is faxed (with the new information on top), there is no confusion on the 
part of the receiving personnel.  We do require that these reports explain the 
reason for the change or addition.  The EMR will show both the original and the 
amended/addended report contents on a separate tab.

Best,
Michelle

For us an amended report is just that; it is an amended report for a

diagnostic changes and/or disagreements.   Additional and new information

information is corrected in the report, we disclaim in the report why the
report was amended and indicate that the provider or clinician was notified
of the amendment on a particular date and time if the amendment was

No need to confused the final product report with initial errors.  This can
lead to other errors.

Subject: [Histonet] Pathology amended reports

I realize this is a broad topic but I am trying to get a flavor for best
practices.
When you issue an amended report, is the original 'removed'? Unlike the
practice on the clinical lab side of leaving the first errant test result in
place and issuing a corrected result, pathology (at least here) has felt
there are more down side issues with leaving the wrong information in the
patient chart.
Your specific thoughts on the actual protocol used for amended reports
issued in your practice is appreciated.
