Report filing in histopathology.

W K Blenkinsopp

Journal of Clinical Pathology

|November 1, 1977

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

For histopathology report filing, traditional card indexes work for up to 100,000 records. Beyond this, microfilm is recommended for long-term retrieval and a new index should be started.

Area of Science:

Medical record management
Histopathology informatics

Background:

Effective filing systems are crucial for medical records.
Long-term retrieval needs of histopathology reports present unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess alternative filing methods for histopathology report forms.
To determine optimal strategies for managing large volumes of reports.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of orthodox card index filing versus microfilm.
Evaluation of system scalability based on report volume.

Main Results:

Card index filing is efficient for up to 100,000 histopathology reports.
Microfilming becomes necessary for volumes exceeding 100,000 for long-term retrieval.

Conclusions:

A hybrid approach using microfilm and a new card index is recommended for large-scale histopathology archives.
Systematic updates to filing methods ensure efficient data management and retrieval.
