How do you handle querying for pathology report results?  Do you query the surgeon or the resident?

    Thanks for your responses.  We do too.  We have one group of physicians in particular who get upset about these.  They are always getting them, I agree, but it's something we have to do!  When you consistently document, "mass" then path comes back as cancer (which is mostly does in these cases), a query is appropriate and warranted! 


    Thank you!
