[The workload in Pathological Anatomy measured on the basis of categories of services].
Workload measurement is one of the most reliable tools in perspective payment systems, to evaluate clerk and technical personnel needs in a Surgical Pathology Department. In 1992 Italian Government began a full-comprehensive modification of financial support in National Health Care System, and during the last four years Public Hospitals and Local Health Units modified their financial organization with the introduction of workload measurement for the personnel needs. We propose a synthetic method for the workload measurement in Surgical Pathology Departments, similar to that proposed for perspective payment of surgical pathology services. The method is reliable and simple representing the full performance to obtain pathological report.
