Innovation in immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining has evolved significantly over the last two decades. The process of staining has shifted from labor-intensive, manual techniques toward semi-automated instruments with off-line processes such as deparaffinization and antigen retrieval, and now to a new generation of baking-through-staining automated instrumentation systems that enable standardization, improved staining consistency, and expedited turnaround times. While automation has positively influenced IHC slide-staining quality and processes, the batch-run method has been a constraint in achieving Lean workflow efficiencies and improved productivity for the anatomic pathology laboratory.

This case study of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) IHC work cell analyzes the impact of implementing single piece flow processing approach and comparing single piece flow output to batch processing of IHC slides. Also, this paper examines how third-party workflow consulting enhances the results associated with instrument implementation by also incorporating Lean workflow concepts, such as single piece flow.
