Frontiers in public health·2024

China’s pathology workforce grew from 2010-2022, but not fast enough to meet rising cancer case demand. Increased patient volumes per pathologist highlight the need for workforce planning and technology.

Area of Science:

Medical diagnostics
Public health workforce analysis
Oncology services

Background:

Global pathology faces personnel shortages and increasing workloads.
Rising cancer incidence and diagnostic complexity exacerbate workforce challenges.
Limited data exists on pathology workforce trends in China.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine trends in China's pathology workforce from 2010 to 2022.
To assess the balance between workforce growth and diagnostic demand.
To identify implications for future workforce planning.

Main Methods:

Utilized data from the China Health Statistical Yearbook (2010-2022).
Analyzed data on pathologists, cancer cases, and patient volumes.
Calculated workload metrics, growth rates, and performed regression analysis.

Keywords:

China pathologist tumor patient workforce workload

Evaluation of a Point-of-Care Testing Analyzer for Measuring Peripheral Blood Leukocytes

Published on: March 22, 2022

Main Results:

Pathologist numbers increased, but growth lagged behind rising patient volumes.
Oncology clinic outpatients and inpatient tumor patients per pathologist significantly increased.
Positive correlations found between pathologist numbers and patient volumes (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

China's pathology workforce growth has not matched increasing diagnostic demand.
Workforce planning and efficiency-enhancing technologies are crucial.
Addressing the growing demand-to-workforce ratio is essential for quality care.
