Case Studies

Tissue processing is one of the most critical elements of obtaining quality and timely results in the histology process. Ultimately, to obtain the desired quality processed tissue samples, separate processing runs may be required appropriate to tissue size.

This assessment aimed to analyze the amount of hands-on time required to label slides for patient identification and compare that to two automated solutions.

QEH is most interested in having slides assigned to their Pathologists earlier in the day.

Cost-effectively managing a large pathology lab while maintaining the high level of quality required by a world-renowned medical center is a difficult balancing act for any hospital administration.

Anti-static microtome paraffin trays are a great option to reduce the time it takes to clean your equipment. Learn more about the benefits of anti-static trays.

Read how the National Consortium of Breast Centers and Leica Biosystems worked with hospitals to improve the quality and efficiencies of their breast programs.

Read how an hospital identified opportunities for improvement by comparing their internal data with standards and benchmarks provided by the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC).

Today’s hectic laboratory environment is driving the need to increase productivity while at the same time improving quality and patient safety.

Variation in care delivery and turnaround times can be reduced by accurately examining the patient care path from initial screening mammography to first surgical intervention. We have developed a process to optimize timeliness to initial surgical treatment.

Anatomic pathology has historically relied on manual systems of tracking and data collection. Bar coding and tracking can be used to capture and manage data as well as help histology create standard work in its processes.
