Third Party Assessment of resection margin status in head and neck cancer
Oral Oncology, 2016Co-Authors: Amy Ransohoff, Douglas J. Wood, Solomon Henry, Vasu Divi, A.d. ColevasAbstract:Summary Background Definitive Assessment of primary site margin status following resection of head and neck cancer is necessary for prognostication, treatment determination and qualification for clinical trials. This retrospective analysis determined how often an independent reviewer can assess primary tumor margin status of head and neck cancer resections based on review of the pathology report, surgical operative report, and first follow-up note alone. Methods We extracted from the electronic medical record pathology reports, operative reports, and follow-up notes from head and neck cancer resections performed at Stanford Hospital. We classified margin status as definitive or not. We labeled any pathology report clearly indicating a positive, negative, or close ( Results 743 unique cases of head and neck cancer resection were extracted. We discarded 255 as non-head and neck cancer cases, or cases that did not involve a definitive resection of a primary tumor site. We could not definitively establish margin status in 20% of resections by independent review of the medical record. There was no correlation between margin determination and surgeon, site, or year of surgery. Conclusion A substantial fraction (20%) of primary site surgical margins could not be definitively determined via independent EMR review. This could have implications for subsequent patient care decisions and clinical trial options.

Economic impact of the third-Party Assessment: case study Line 3 Metro Riyadh – Red line
Transportation Research Procedia, 2020Co-Authors: Luca Beccastrini, Laura Chiacchiari, Carmine ZappacostaAbstract:Abstract The Independent Design Verification Engineer (DVE) plays a vital role in supporting local authorities to meet their statutory duty under internal planning acts or strategic planning programs. Mainly appointed to verify compliance of the Contractor’s design scope of work with the Employer’s requirements, the DVE ensures high standards of design, using objective criteria and an impartial evaluation process. Above all, while the designer must remain responsible for the design, the reviewer must be satisfied with the compliance of the design with principles and assumptions, along with the adequacy of the functional and safety targets of the project [1]. In many countries the DVE in civil and transport industry impacts on the life-cycle of a project in a relevant way: primarily by allowing the supervision of the global coherence of the design and the technical feasibility of the work, its operation and maintenance, avoiding or minimizing variation of the works. In Italy, for the same reason, the Design Verification is mandatory by law in contracts for public works - as per Leg. Decree 50/2016 art. 26. The purpose of this paper, indeed, is to make clear how the DVE increases confidence in the “constructability” of the design and hopefully reduces the costs associated with it. The economic impact of the DVE on each stage of the design chain and how it enables the improvement of the management of works will be discussed. As an example, the appraisal framework of Line 3-Riyadh Metro Project will be presented, in the light of the verification procedure, highlighting why a longer relationship of trust, reliability and strong communication between the involved parties is reached, thanks to the continuous support and interface of the independent engineer with the project’s stakeholders. Finally, as outcomes of the consolidated expertise of Italcertifer in managing DVE services, an analysis on how a design error affects time and costs will be given.
