"Cancer staging procedures can typically send at least 15 specimens to the Pathology Department for processing," said Patricia McMeen, RN, Nurse Analyst at Erlanger. "Each case used to take our nurses roughly 15 minutes just to fill out redundant paperwork. Our automated process cuts that time to an average of five minutes, helps increase accuracy and gives the timesavings back to the patients, where it belongs. Our physicans and patients also benefit from quicker turnaround on specimen processing due to increased accuracy and legibility."
