| 摘要 |
The evaluation of the performance of cytotechnologists and cytopathologists is obtained through statistical analyses of a computer system database including data representative of diagnosis by the cytotechnologists and cytopathologists. The statistical analyses provide objective measures of performance that aid in improving the quality of evaluation in the cytology laboratory. The locator skills, interpretive skills, volume statistics and productivity of the cytotechnologists is evaluated based on false-negative fraction information, divergent percentage calculations, average scores and kappa values, z scores and pro-rata workload measurements. The accuracy and performance of the cytopathologists is evaluated through the use of receiver operating characteristic curves and positive predictive values.
