Histopathology reports are important quality assurance tools and evaluation of pathological diagnoses described in them is an integral part of total quality control and quality improvement program. We describe a program based on slide circulation which was aimed at both continuing education to upgrade knowledge and proficiency testing of histopathologists. The performance of the participating pathologists was analyzed and the degree of agreement was also studied. The results showed improvement indicated by rising level of performance in 35.3% of consistent participants and increasing trend in the average score. The degree of agreement was comparatively low (65.29%). The practicability of this program and its acceptability as an EQAS was also investigated.
组织病理学报告是重要的质量保证工具,对其中描述的病理诊断进行评估是全面质量控制和质量改进计划的一个组成部分。我们描述了一个基于玻片循环的项目,其目的既是为了提升知识的继续教育,也是为了对组织病理学家进行能力测试。对参与的病理学家的表现进行了分析,并研究了一致率。结果显示,35.3%的一致参与者的表现水平有所提高,平均分数呈上升趋势,表明有所改善。一致率相对较低(65.29%)。还对该项目的实用性及其作为外部质量评估计划的可接受性进行了调查。
