Review of Extradepartmental Pathology Diagnoses: Good Medicine? Good Investment?
Paul Valenstein

"The literature seems clear that review of outside diagnoses
before treatment will correct some diagnostic errors, while
creating relatively fewer new errors. What is yet not clear is
whether this activity is a good institutional or societal
investment in a resource-constrained environment, and
whether extradepartmental reviews should be conducted
routinely or selectively."
