Pathology reports are the most important medical documents:

Types of pathology reports

• Free Text

• Structured

• Synoptic

CAP what is not synoptic report

Pathology reports suffer from the outside forces:

• Clinicians who do not want (!) "inadequate specimen" reports.

• We change our diagnosis so that clinicians do not misunderstand

• Do not write chronic prostitis because they may assume that elevated PSA levels are due to chronic prostitis ???

• We change our reports so that patients do not misunderstand

  • Change prostate grading scheme so that patients are grade group 1, not in 6 out of 10.

  • Explanatory notes for patients

• We change tumor names so that insurance firms do not label patients as cancer

  • Change thyoid tumor names (NIFTP)
