Pathology requisitions are the things that come with pathology specimens. They contain a large amount of information and provide context.
General
- Requisitions are a formal form of communication between healthcare providers and have implications in the quality of care.[1]
- Elements of requisitions, such as the completeness of the clinical history, may be audited as part of a quality program.[2]
Information typically found on requisitions
- Date.
- Patient identifiers.
- Source of specimen.
- Submitting physican.
- Submitting clinic/operating room.
- Clinical history - considered a necessity and may be a legal requirement.[3][4]
Standardization of requisitions
Standardization of requsitions:
- Facilitates analysis work, both with respect to: (1) quality of care, and (2) pathophysiology of disease.
- Likely facilitates a higher standard of care, based on the significant body of research on checklist use inside and outside of medicine.[5][6]
Prostate biopsies - clinical history checklist
- PSA ____ ng/ml.
- Clinical T stage/DRE examination: ___.
- 5-Alpha inhibitor use: Yes/No.
- Previous biopsy: Yes/No.
- Prior radiation therapy: Yes/No.
- Prostate measurements: SAG ___ cm, AP ___ cm, TRANS ___ cm.
- Prostate volume: ___ cm3.
- PSA density ___ ng/ml2.
- Additional clinical information: ___.
Urinary bladder biopsies/TURBTs - clinical history checklist
- History of bladder tumour: No/Yes.
- BCG treatment: Yes/No.
- Erythema: Yes/No.
- Definite tumour: Yes/No.
- Location of tumour: ___.
- Clinical stage: ___.
- Other clinical information: ___.
Lung mass - clinical history checklist
- Previous lung biopsy: No/Yes.

- Suspected cancer: No/Yes
- If Yes: primary lung/metastasis, clinical stage _______.
- Exposure history, e.g. smoking: _______.
