Introduction: There has been an increase in endoscopic and bronchoscopic biopsies as minimally invasive methods to obtain specimens from gastrointestinal (GI) or pancreatobiliary lesions and thoracic or mediastinal lesions, respectively. As hospitals undertake more of these procedures, it is important to consider the staffing implications that this has on cytopathology laboratories with respect to support for rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE).

Materials And Methods: Volume and time data from endoscopic ultrasound and bronchoscopic procedures (including endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspirations and small biopsies with touch preparation) in the GI suite, bronchoscopy suite, or operating room were reviewed for 2 months at 2 different medical centers with ROSE services provided by cytologists or fellows physically present at the procedure and cytopathologists located remotely using telecytology.
