Surgical Records

The Surgical Records Department is responsible for multiple tasks related to surgical, bone marrow, and autopsy reports. These tasks include combining patient histories to the current case to afford pathologists the opportunity to view any previous diagnosis that may be available for the patient. Other responsibilities for this department include entering billing codes, performing transcription for surgical, bone marrow or autopsy cases, and processing requests such as reports, slides, or paraffin blocks that will be sent to another facility.
