RCPA quality assurance program: review of the urology module

Abstract

In the course of the presentation a review of the urology module of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Program (RCPA QAP) will be made, including an assessment of the results pertaining to straightforward urogenital cases, and those that presented more of a challenge to respondents. One aspect that will be examined in more depth is the range of responses given in regard to Gleason scoring of prostate adenocarcinoma, an area that has not been formally assessed to date but will be assessed going forward. Discussion will also be made concerning the performance monitoring project and the framework to be introduced in regard to anatomical pathology.
