Pathologists Aid in Patient Understanding and Quality of Care

July 30, 2024 / Anatomic Pathology

With the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act in 2021, patients were granted access to their medical test results without delay—often before their physician can review them. Pathology reports aren’t written with patients as a target audience and they contain complex medical terminology which can often lead to patient confusion and anxiety. Lapedis_Cathryn_cathrynb_5694_sq 500.jpgTo address this, researchers led by Cathryn Lapedis, M.D., M.P.H., of the Department of Pathology at Michigan Medicine, recently examined how a pathology explanation clinic, or PEC, could improve the experience of a small group of patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer.
