Re: [Histonet] Friday Trivia Question: Most specimen on a single case
The answer to this question will depend on what type of environment you work in. I work at a large tertiary care hospital with a major emphasis on cancer surgery and, as a result, we frequently get major cancer resections (with multiple parts) that generate well over 100 paraffin blocks per case. Also, please note that many current protocols for these types of specimen now dictate for an increased number of paraffin blocks to be submitted. Richard Richard W.

Re: [Histonet] Friday Trivia Question: Most specimen on a single case
I did ask about specimen/container, but knowing block count is interesting as well. Guys, I'm just the LIS vendor and I'm just happy that our LIS can handle this. Since it's been asked, I have asked what 'kind' of specimen these are. Oh, and as far as billing is concerned, since this is hospital based, I believe the billing will based upon admitting icd code...
