Abstract:
Subspecialty sign-out is increasingly common in academic medical centers as well as some community practices. Reducing interobserver variability in anatomic pathology is desirable so that clinicians can select the appropriate therapy. Many departments that elect subspecialty sign-out do so with the assumption that it will improve diagnostic accuracy and interobserver variability-but does it? The literature is mixed.
