Assessing skin cancer histopathology reporting against minimum dataset standards in a low-resource setting

Skin cancer reports did not document most core items. Implementation of standardized reporting is limited by resource constraints and suboptimal health information system. However, transition from narrative to structured reporting requires the development of national regulations and organizational policies, supported by committed leadership. Exploratory research is recommended to identify the barriers to implementation of structured reporting.

Abstract

Skin cancer reports did not document most core items. Implementation of standardized reporting is limited by resource constraints and suboptimal health information system. However, transition from narrative to structured reporting requires the development of national regulations and organizational policies, supported by committed leadership. Exploratory research is recommended to identify the barriers to implementation of structured reporting.
