An attempt to model activity of individual histopathologists or departments is illustrated, in which specimen numbers and types are weighted to produce an overall Kim unit (KU) activity. By cross referencing this numerical score against individual pathologists and clinicians, it is not only possible to interrogate departmental activity retrospectively, but also to predict and cost the impact of any change in service. The advantages over Welcans and Korner Units are illustrated.
文中展示了对个体组织病理学家或科室的活动进行建模的尝试,其中对标本数量和类型进行加权以得出总体金氏单位(KU)活动量。通过将这个数值分数与个体病理学家和临床医生进行交叉参照,不仅可以回顾性地审视科室活动,还能够预测服务中任何变化的影响并计算其成本。文中还说明了相较于韦尔坎单位和科纳单位的优势。
