Data-Driven Development of an Institutional "Gross-Only" Policy for the Examination of Select Surgical Pathology Specimens.
CONCLUSIONS: Establishing a gross-only policy should be guided by established recommendations but institutionally individualized and data driven. It was reasonable for us to establish a gross-only policy for most evaluated specimens, while excluding bariatric stomach specimens in which microscopic pathology could be missed, given the lack of H pylori screening at our institution.
