Academic pathologists perform clinical duties, as well as valuable nonclinical activities. Nonclinical activities may consist of research, teaching, and administrative management among many other important tasks. While clinical duties have many clear metrics to measure productivity, like the relative value units of Medicare reimbursement, nonclinical performance is often difficult to measure. Despite the difficulty of evaluating nonclinical activities, nonclinical productivity is used to determine promotion, funding, and inform professional evaluations of performance. In order to better evaluate the important nonclinical performance of academic pathologists, we present an evaluation system for leadership use. This system uses a Microsoft Excel workbook to provide academic pathologist respondents and reviewing leadership a transparent, easy-to-complete system that is both flexible and scalable. This system provides real-time feedback to academic pathologist respondents and a clear executive summary that allows for focused guidance of the respondent. This system may be adapted to fit practices of varying size, measure performance differently based on years of experience, and can work with many different institutional values.
学术病理学家既要履行临床职责，也要开展有价值的非临床活动。非临床活动可能包括研究、教学以及行政管理等许多其他重要任务。虽然临床职责有许多明确的指标来衡量工作效率，比如医疗保险报销的相对价值单位，但非临床工作表现往往难以衡量。尽管评估非临床活动存在困难，但非临床工作效率仍被用于决定晋升、资金投入以及为专业绩效评估提供依据。为了更好地评估学术病理学家的重要非临床表现，我们提出一个供领导层使用的评估系统。该系统使用一个Microsoft Excel工作簿，为学术病理学家受访者和负责评审的领导层提供一个透明、易于填写的系统，该系统既灵活又可扩展。这个系统能为学术病理学家受访者提供实时反馈，并生成一份清晰的执行摘要，以便为受访者提供有针对性的指导。这个系统可以进行调整，以适应不同规模的业务，根据经验年限不同来衡量工作表现，并且可以与许多不同的机构价值观相契合。
