In the UK, under present Whitley Council Regulations for payment for out-of-hours pathology services, there is a complex relationship between the number of requests received, the time taken to analyse each request, and the number of calls for which payment may be claimed for work done. At a fixed average analysis time, the rate of increase of remuneration slows down as workload increases until at higher workloads remuneration falls. The introduction of methods with a shorter average analysis time to improve the clinical service increases remuneration disproportionately. We suggest that a fixed sessional payment would be a better way of funding the service.
在英国，根据惠特利委员会目前关于非工作时间病理服务付费的规定，收到的请求数量、分析每个请求所需的时间以及可就所做工作申请付费的电话数量之间存在复杂的关系。在固定的平均分析时间下，随着工作量的增加，报酬的增长速度会放缓，直到在更高的工作量下报酬下降。引入平均分析时间更短的方法来改善临床服务会使报酬不成比例地增加。我们建议，固定的时段付费将是为该服务提供资金的更好方式。
