Anyone have any recommendations on a good one? Seems like there are alot out there for clinical lab, but not specifically AP/histology workflow and efficency.

Damn 3/4 of your work after 3 pm? How late do you stay until? So you come into work later then?30K surgicals with a vast majority complex hospital based surgicals. 600-800 blocks per day (based on 5 days). I really just want someone to come in and tell the histotechs they need to come in earlier so we pathologists can have more than 1-2 cases when we come in at 8-9am. When we are at other sites we often get 3/4 of our work after 3pm which I think is unacceptable. My expectations my be too high in this post covid no work environment though. When do you all typically get your AP work?
I wish! We've had so much turnover the last few years and we just can't hire people to work the true early morning shifts needed to make this happen. We're not even getting 30% of our slides by 9am (literally just got my first trays of the day. Most come out well after 12 and closer to 3. Sigh.The majority of AP work should be ready by 9am - last new case out by 11ish at the most. Do you have a good histo lab manager? I don't think a consultant will help here - you need to start with your own management team.

As long as your TAT expectation is appropriate late arriving cases can be tolerated. A case out after a certain time just becomes a tomorrow case unless it is a true rush (and these should be prioritized to be cut first anyways).30K surgicals with a vast majority complex hospital based surgicals. 600-800 blocks per day (based on 5 days).

Derms demanding next day sign out of outpatient biopsies is ridiculous
