Quality Management in Anatomic Pathology contains comprehensive coverage of all segments of the anatomic pathology test cycle (preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic), detailed benchmark data with extensive references, and information on diagnostic discrepancies and suggested actions. Helpful examples of forms to document quality assurance activity as well as a comprehensive glossary also are included.
