Objectives To determine outcomes following relocation of frozen section services (FSS) and the implementation of a dedicated gastrointestinal frozen service. Methods We reviewed our FSS 6 months prior to and following FSS relocation. Satisfaction surveys were sent to surgeons and pathologists. Survey feedback resulted in a pilot of gastrointestinal subspecialist frozen section coverage. Results There were 1,607 and 1,472 specimens from 667 and 602 patients pre- and post-FSS relocation, respectively. There was a decline in median specimen delivery time to pathology (12 vs 10 minutes, P Conclusions Relocation of FSS and dedicated subspecialty interpretation may improve surgeon satisfaction but can also create workflow challenges. Pathology departments need to achieve a balance between satisfaction and adequacy to establish best frozen section coverage models. |
