Must receive an official signed authorization for the release of the slides from the patient (preferrably the General HIPAA Authorization form)
Christina Romanello will pull slides, print out report and complete Departmental Release form. The paperwork and slides will be passed off to the neuropathologist who signed out the case. If sign out neuropathologist is not available, the attending on service will receive these materials.
The attending will select the appropriate slides (important to leave representative slides if possible in the Division file), sign the Departmental Release form and return to Christina Romanello.
Blocks should not be sent to outside Institutions. Order blanks or use blanks from the file when necessary.
The slides that are sent out will be logged into Copath using the Slide Send Out function.
