TL;DR: A psychosocial hypothesis (the "Big Dog" Effect) is developed that partially explains biases in error assessment and exhibits poor agreement in determining the cause of error for pulmonary specimens sent for cancer diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of a Lean Quality Improvement Implementation Program on Surgical Pathology Specimen Accessioning and Gross Preparation Error Frequency
TL;DR: It is concluded that through culture change and implementation of specific work process changes, Lean implementation may improve pathology patient safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the quality of cytology diagnosis: root cause analysis for errors in bronchial washing and brushing specimens.
TL;DR: Root cause analysis of false-negative bronchial brushing and washing specimen errors showed that the lesion was not accessible in 8 cases and tumor was readily identified on the slides in only 1 case, and recommendations for error reduction include immediate interpretation and the use of transmucosal fine-needle aspiration.
