Post Set-up consultation for a full year
I have over 40 years of histology
experience including 25 years as the supervisor of a large clinical histology laboratory processing 30,000 surgical cases
per year. My experience includes Clinical Hospital, Mohs and Ophthalmic Histology. Years of temporary histology service in
many laboratories around the country gives me a broad perspective into procedures and processes which can be useful and profitable
to your practice.
In addition to temporary or vacation relief I offer consultation services for:
- Evaluation of Slide Quality with recommendations
for improvement in the areas of:
- Fixation
- Processing
- Embedding
- Cutting
- Staining
- Special Stains
- Immunohistochemical Stains
- Preparation for CAP/CLIA Inspections including evaluation of:
- Procedure Manuals
- QC and QA Records
- Safety Procedures
- Review of CAP Inspection Questions with Evaluation of deficiencies and recommendations of remedies.
- Equipment Selection for lowered
cost and improved quality with attention to turn-around time, budgetary goals, ergonomics and space utilization.
- Evaluation of Processes for improvement
of Quality, Efficiency and Turn-around time.
- Recommendations for procedures, processes, space utilization, remodeling, recycling and scheduling.
- I work closely with Avantik Biogroup up and other instrument companies
when setting up new gastroenterology and urology histology labs. I can help you with the complete planning and implementation
of these projects including utility placement, preparation of CLIA manuals and technician training. I am competitively priced
with a proven track record of success.
I have used
and am familiar with a wide range of equipment including, Tissue Tek, Sakura, Leica, Thermo/Shandon, Micron, Dako, Ventana,
B/R, CBG and Reichert processors, stainers, coverslippers, cryostats, microtomes, recyclers, embedding centers and other ancillary
equipment.
All laboratories have procedures and practices in use, developed
over years of thoughtful management. I am a firm believer that laboratory employees desire to produce the highest quality
histological slides and stains. And yet, most laboratories have numerous possibilities to reduce costs and improve turn-around
times and quality outcomes, when reviewed with an additional perspective.
I offer the flexibility and broad experience to accommodate to your specific needs regarding any of the above areas,
and look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I may be of service.
I am also
available for vacation/leave of absence relief for several days up to several weeks. You see productivity from day one!
