[The evaluation of efficiency of new methodology of personified registration and distribution of workload of pathoanatomists].

Abstract

The original methodology developed by authors for personalized registration and distribution of workload of pathologists is implemented into a number of departments of pathological-anatomic service of the Irkutsk Oblast, including pathological-anatomic department of the Oblast State Budget Institution "The Irkutsk Municipal Clinical Hospital № 1". In order to evaluate efficiency of new methodology comparative analysis of workload volumes performed by pathologists with calculated standard workload was carried out for two periods i.e before application of new methodology and after its implementation. It is established that in 2017-2019 before implementation of new methodology, discrepancy between workload performed by physicians and its calculated value exceeded 40% in some specialists. The implementation of new methodology resulted in significant, up to 10-fold, decreasing of discrepancy between workload practically performed by physicians and its standard value. As a result, actually this discrepancy on average does not exceed 4% in most specialists. The application of the Student's t-test to compare value of discrepancy between workload performed by pathologists for two compared periods also permitted to establish statistical significance of given differences related to majority of physicians (p<0.05) that serves as justification of efficiency and reasonability of new methodology.
