Abstract

Background: Studies have shown that dermatology consultations often result in changes in both the diagnosis and management of hospitalized patients, thus obtaining pathology results in a timely manner is imperative for patient care. Based on our previous study (SLU IRB#28817), we found that the average time to receive a biopsy readout was 3 days (not counting weekends or holidays) and if a dermatopathology consult was requested, it took an average of 7 days to receive the specimen in the dermatopathology lab.
