Project: Optimizing Mastectomy and Excisional Biopsy Handling Procedures for Optimal Histologic Examination
For his CQIP project, Stéphan noticed requisition discrepancies and specimen integrity issues from his own ORs and some of the surrounding hospitals. His project started to collect data to classify the type of discrepancies occurring and where they originated, finding that 35% of specimens had at least one discrepancy ranging from one to three issues per specimen.
