As pathologists, we have centered our careers on the examination of specimens, data collection, information formulation, and reporting of our findings.
The further recognition of “clinically relevant” subdivisions of disease processes is desirable. It helps in the selection of appropriate treatment and prognostication for an individual patient. However, currently “clinically irrelevant” subdivisions add nothing to the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Da Ruby SG. Clinician Interpretation of Pathology Reports: confusion or comprehension?Information, either relevant or irrelevant, provides no useful purpose if it is received by the end user in an unintelligible form. As pathologists, our training is in converting data to useful information; our reports are our product and effective communication is our connection with our clinical colleagues.
