The Mann-Whitney test determined if a significant change in text volume had occurred. In 1995, these descriptions were found 64 and 10 times, respectively. Identifying a relevant and measurable parameter of quality for physicians whose product is textual is difficult. At the least, a high-quality interpretation of tissue specimens should be accurate, relevant, and timely. Current information suggests that skin pathology reporting has deteriorated in accuracy, relevance, and timeliness.
Anonymous consultants can have an increased error rate in the analysis of skin biopsy specimens.
3 Decreasing textual content in skin pathology reports represents a change in physician practice in the skin pathology laboratory, but not necessarily a change in the quality of the output. If the ultimate diagnosis is accurate, the lack of microscopic description becomes moot. However, skin biopsy samples are often taken from nascent skin lesions that may contain subtle findings. A high-quality interpretation of these specimens may require collaboration between the clinician and the histopathologist who interprets the histological specimen. These collaborations follow most frequently when inflammatory, lymphoreticular, or infectious processes are sampled.
