Quality, in pathology, has got a lot of attention lately because there have been high profile screw-ups that lead to significant harm.[1]
Analysis
Quality issues are examined a number of different ways, e.g. root cause analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
| Errors in pathology | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pre-analytical errors | Analytical errors | Post-analytical errors | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Biopsy size
Very small tissue fragments are associated with a decreased diagnostic yield and an increased diagnostic uncertainty.
