Level 4 equivalent, abbreviated L4E, is a workload measurement system endorsed by the Canadian Association of pathologists.[1]
The development is described in a paper by Maung.[2] It has since been revised and is comprehensive with regard to academic practice and community practice.[3]
Details of the original L4E system
Surgical pathology
L4E units for surgical pathology adapted from Maung:[1]
| Description | L4E units |
|---|---|
| Surgical - level 1 | 0.15 |
| Surgical - level 2 | 0.33 |
| Surgical - level 3 | 0.5 |
| Surgical - level 4 | 1.0 |
| Surgical - level 5 | 5.0 |
| Surgical - level 6 | 15.0 |
Modifiers to the base scores (above) - based on Maung:[1]
| Description | L4E units |
|---|---|
| Additional stains & IHC >=4 for case |
+1.0 |
| Immunofluorescence | +0.5 |
| Intraoperative consultation | 3 |
| Each additional intraoperative consultation |
2 |
Total workload
Recommended mean workload per pathologist adapted from Maung:[1]
| Practise type | Annual L4E units (mean & standard deviation) |
|---|---|
| Rural | 5,589 (5,393-5,784) |
| Independent | 6,316 (6,095-6,537) |
| Specialized | 7,043 (6,797-7,290) |
