3 Objectives Identify three areas of medical-legal risk for pathologists Incorporate two strategies to reduce risk in your lab/practice
4 2 Women Have Endometrial Biopsy By GYN On Same Day What slides did you report on?
5 A Case of Mistaken Identity
6 Following the Investigation Created embedding log at time of gross pathology Forceps to be washed between specimens
7 Risk Management Services Professional Liability for Pathologists
8 Question #1 What is the most common critical incident in closed legal actions involving pathologist? A. Communication Issues B. Delay/ Missed Diagnosis C. Administrative issues D. Performance issues

14 Where is the abnormality?
15 Where is the abnormality?
16 Hindsight and Hindsight Bias BEFORE arriving at a final diagnosis
17 Hindsight and Hindsight Bias The puzzle is solved, the final diagnosis is clear BEFORE arriving at a final diagnosis AFTER determining the final diagnosis AFTER a delay in making a diagnosis or a misdiagnosis
18 What Can Lead to Misdiagnosis?
19 Question #2 From CMPA cases what is the top reason for error in diagnosis for pathologists? A. Lab mix-up B. Failure to consult C. Misreading/ misinterpretation of specimen D. Not following protocols/ policies
20 Question #2 From CMPA cases what is the top reason for error in diagnosis for pathologists? A. Lab mix-up B. Failure to consult C. Misreading/ misinterpretation of specimen D. Not following protocols/ policies
21 78% of diagnostic errors are due to misinterpretation or misread of specimens
22 Who Determines the Standard of Care? Colleagues of similar training and experience (experts)
23 Remember Error in Judgment = Negligence
24 What Are the Top 3 Conditions to be Misdiagnosed? 1. Neoplasms / diseases of the breast 2. Neoplasms / diseases of the digestive tract 3. Neoplasms / diseases of the skin
25 63% of cases involved cancer delay in diagnosis/treatment
26 Clinical Risks Errors of Omission or Commission Missed diagnosis abnormality seen but not reported abnormality present but not seen missed on exam missed on section / staining technical error sampling error
27 Clinical Risks Errors of Omission or Commission Incorrect diagnosis over-interpretation of findings failure to consider alternative diagnosis seeing what is expected, rather than what is there
28 In Challenging Cases, Have You Considered? Further exclusionary / confirmatory investigations Obtaining a second opinion Documentation of informal 2 nd opinions Wording of the report
29 AJCP 2000
30 Am J Surg Pathol 2008 Mandatory second opinion in surgical pathology referral material: clinical consequences of major disagreements Second opinion surgical pathology 2.3% major diagnostic disagreements
31 Consider 2 nd opinion Do the pathology findings correspond with the referring MD s clinical impression? Highly significant diagnosis with irreversible surgery? Rare disorder Problematic cases
32 Legal Actions Pathologists: Administrative Issues Non-compliance with existing fail safe system Mix-up specimens/ reports/ cell contamination
33 ERCI 2014
34 ECRI 2014
35 15 % of cases involved a mix-up of specimens/slides Mix-up of slides Mislabelling of specimens Lack of quality control measures Failure to comply with existing laboratory processes
36 In Challenging Cases, Have You Considered? Further exclusionary / confirmatory investigations Obtaining a second opinion Documentation of informal 2 nd opinions Wording of the report
37 Be Careful What You Dictate
38 Wording your reports Diagnostic for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma Experts Would Have Reported : Highly atypical squamous cells suspicious for squamous cell ca: Recommend biopsy
39
40 Consider in reports Define pathological terms Discuss DDx for challenging cases Document recommendations for followup tests or treatment Document verbal consultations Document what/ whether clinical info provided
41 Reports consider: If provisional dx until tests/ consult available Provide supplemental report if NB new info available after initial report Document interdepartmental 2 nd opinions on new malignancies, diagnostic challenges, uncommon dx (bone, soft tissue tumors)
42
43 Documentation of discussions Documentation of informal 2 nd opinions Document calls to clinicians re substantive changes Document telephone advice and communications with other HCP
44 Second Opinion Could I also get your opinion on this case? 33 y.o foot lesion I think it s a Spitz nevus - how would you comment on adequacy of excision? Thanks As we discussed, I think that this is a nodular melanoma. I would be interested in knowing how long it has been present.
45 Risk management Are there clear policies and procedures handling, labeling, processing and reporting of tissue specimens? Requisition contain the pertinent clinical and specimen information as well as the correct patient identifiers? Do the patient identifiers on the specimen being examined match the requisition and the final pathology report?
46 Teaching Tips If in doubt get another opinion Would deeper cuts, special stains help? Is there sufficient information on the requisition? Is the specimen adequate? Is the expert qualified to judge the care? Document your DDx, evidence for Dx, recommendations, discussions with colleagues
47 Pathologist as Advocate Advising authorities of needs New procedures in literature Reported deficiencies of current procedures / policies Equipment deficiencies / improvements Safety issues for patients, staff Put it in writing!
48 Memo In view of October 3, 1999 Toronto Star cover story (see attached article Agony of a cancer test mix-up ) re problems of pick-up at Sunnybrook, I recommend that we proactively take preventative steps, including raising awareness of the serious consequences of this type of error among tech s, histotechnologists and pathologists.
49 Bottom Line Wrong diagnosis equal negligence Consider second opinion in challenging cases Consider speaking with referring MD if diagnosis unclear or clarification needed Follow policies to prevent mix-ups with specimens/reports
