 We use a 50:50 ratio, 1 ml of each to cell button.

[Histonet] Cerner AB

[Anne van Binsbergen via Histonet]

Tim
We use Cerner Millennium and are considering adding AB 
Apart from the modifications and tweaking of the actual system, my concern with 
a very tight space issue, is the need to have hardware set up at each grossing 
(2) and microtome station (4) and the obvious addition expense related to that. 
We currently have 1 cassette printer. 
Also we use various colored cassettes for various tissues so would need the 
system to be able to supply the case designated color at grossing. 
Your thoughts please.
Regard
Annie in Arabia

Does anyone have the recipe for making cell blocks with Thrombin and Plasma?
We made them at my first Histo job, oh say over 20 years ago but I do not 
remember the ratio.

Thanks bunches,

Re: [Histonet] FW: Cerner AB

[Simmons, Christopher via Histonet]

There are so many report combinations it's hard to know where to start.
Pending logs by block status ensure you have cut all the blocks as expected for 
that day. Pending stains by status to know where you are during the day and to 
ensure you have done all ordered by eob.
Overdue logs and stains. Etc all custom by your copath team to your situation.

Jose, do you have Cerner Copath already? If so, and you plan to keep it, AB 
is probably the best option. If you try to use a third-party system like 
Vantage or Cerebro with Copath, Cerner will require that you buy AB anyway as 
the middle-ware. Then you would need to support two separate systems. You also 
may not be able to have two-way communication, that is, writing back to the 
Cerner database from a third party application (for instance, cannot order 
blocks or stains in the third party system and have it be written to the Copath 
database. All blocks/stains must be entered on the Copath side and then they 
are picked up by the third party system).

We have Copath Plus v14 and we have been using AB for 3+ years. It works very 
well, but took a lot of work to implement. We barcode from specimen receipt 
thru grossing, histology, IHC and Special Staining, to block and slide storage 
and tissue storage and disposal.
Cytology as well. All seamlessly. We use the Copath 2D code to run our Leica 
and Ventana stainers without the need to program those stainers - stain orders 
are sent to the stainers from Copath and they "wait" for the 2D-coded slide to 
show up.

We print cassettes at each gross station and slide labels (General Data 
StainerShield) at each microtome when the blocks are scanned. That has worked 
very well.

AB has a "status monitor" that allows you to see how materials move thru the 
lab - for instance it shows how many blocks are in "grossed" status" or "cut" 
status at any given time. You can click on the number on the monitor to see 
exactly which cases are in that status. You can also track all materials of a 
case very easily with one report.

We have pretty much eliminated paper from the lab with this system.

The only downside I have seen is that Copath does not have a good statistics 
reporting tool. They only provide static reports, and "raw data" that must be 
exported to Excel to do any analysis. You can get third party reporting tools 
that tap into the Copath tables and build our your own live stats reports but 
they are pretty expensive.

We have also used AB to make our own materials tracking system for our 
courier system, and chemical tracking in the gross room. It is very flexible in 
that way.

Hello Histonetters.

I'm looking for opinions from users of Cerner's Advanced Barcode labeling and 
Tracking Software. I'd like to know your experience working with the software, 
and if you've worked with another software.

Thank you.

Hello All,

Does anyone have two blocks of medullary thyroid carcinoma FFPE blocks they 
could spare? I can trade control blocks that I currently have in return. Thank

Re: [Histonet] Cerner AB

[Saundra Ellis via Histonet]

I used Cerner AB for several years. It was highly adaptable and there was 
suitable integration of data between cytology and histology. I'll begin using 
Vantage in the coming weeks and could give you a better comparison. In general, 
the upfront work to customize AB has to be done otherwise you won't reap the 
benefits of the system.
