I would think that the reason for the recut is relevant to the discussion. We
have a multi surgeon Mohs Surgery clinic and I've tracked recut requests by
surgeon and the data illustrates what I already knew. We have one surgeon who
prefers to go deeper into virtually every block. In this instance it is not a
quality indicator but rather an indicator of practice style.
It sounds like your environment is a single surgeon practice which should
simplify developing your own quality standards. I am not aware that such
standards exist but you may consider contacting the Mohs College with your
question.

Subject: [Histonet] Mohs Key Performane Indicators (Recuts)
Hello,
I work for a Mohs surgeon who wants to establish key performance indicators
(KPIs) for the mohs techs to evaluate daily performance. Does anyone have any
information of surveys or standards for the number of recuts per day or per
block as a measure for quality Mohs sectioning? She's working with a standard
that 4 or less recuts in a day (average 30 to 50 blocks per day) is quality
work. Has anyone come up with standards in this regard for Mohs sectioning?
Thanks in advance,
Martino Tanner
