Quality Management in Anatomic Pathology: Promoting Patient Safety Through Systems Improvement and Error Reduction
Medical books Quality Management in Anatomic Pathology. Medical books Quality design. The majority of studies on the quality of oncologic pathology diagnoses have focused on patient safety and have documented a variety of causes of errors that occur in the clinical and anatomic pathology department testing phases. Clinical practitioners play an essential role in error reduction through several avenues such as effective test ordering, providing accurate and pertinent clinical information, procuring high-quality specimens, providing timely follow-up on test results, effectively communicating on potentially discrepant diagnoses, and advocating second opinions on the pathology diagnosis in specific situations. This is indeed the right time to consider a re-look into the functioning of our anatomic pathology departments, especially in light of litigation threats looming large over today's medical practice. Although designing comprehensive quality system policies and procedures at the department level would appear to be the logical approach in the right direction, precision & accuracy may not be easy to achieve due to various factors. An interdisciplinary approach would be mandatory to formulate effective treatment plans to resolve the pressing problems in medical science, particularly cancer management.
