First Do No Harm: Why Pathologists Have an Integral Role in Patient Safety - a podcast by CAP

Because pathologists are integral to patient care, they can contribute significantly to preventing and reducing medical error. Understanding causes of patient safety errors is the first step in developing and implementing programs to reduce their occurrence, according to Dr. Deborah Sesok-Pizzini, editor of the book, Patient Safety in Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Laboratories (https://capatholo.gy/2AVzvW5). In this CAPcast interview, Dr. Sesok-Pizzini discusses the cognitive and human errors that can compromise patient safety and how pathologists can create a culture of safety, including designing and implementing effective training programs.
