NWI Offsite Pathology Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System requires scheduled offsite medical laboratory, pathology, and testing-analysis services for clinical and anatomical pathology specimens requested by participating facilities during the contract period. The contractor performs pre-analytic processing, analysis, and reporting and interpretation of results; VA collects specimens and handles preparation and grossing except for cytology specimens and global surgical pathology cases, and performs VistA accessioning and slide-and-block preservation and storage, with all slides and blocks to be returned to VA for permanent storage.
