[Histonet] Evaluation of interobserver variability among pathologists

[D'Attilio, Shelley]

Hi all,
Could you please share how your laboratory evaluates interobserver variability among the pathologists per CAP checklist item ANP.22970 (Annual Result Comparison)?  I would like to evaluate if my procedure is adequate of if there is more that I should be doing.  Does the checklist item imply that we compare the results by individual pathologist to the published benchmarks?  Or does it mean that we compare the scoring of each pathologist on the same set of cases?  Or something else?

Thanks,

Shelley D'Attilio MT(ASCP)
