Melanie S. White, MT(ASCP), Laboratory Supervisor, Systems/Anatomic Pathology, McLeod Regional Medical Center asks: >>What percentage of anatomical pathology cases in your facility are reviewed by a second pathologist (intradepartmental consult)?<<
The one group I've worked with that addressed this question was a group of five experienced surgical pathologists who kept very careful records of their internal consults. They maintained an intradepartmental consultation rate of 2.6%, which they thought was optimal for their particular practice situation.
