Abstract

In this cost-conscious era, quality assessment activities in anatomic pathology are required not only to assure that quality practices result in satisfaction of accreditation standards but also to focus quality management to improve services in an economically competitive manner. Selected high yield monitoring activities that provide comparison to reference databases for benchmarking performance and adoption of practice variables effective in the best laboratories are recommended.
