Enter a new era of efficiency and patient care with the transformation to digital pathology
Healthcare IT: the nuances of integration & interoperability
Pathology is just embarking on its digitization journey, and there are multiple ways that departments can promote interoperability in partnership with industry. Standardizing whole slide image formats and promoting tight integration between different software systems will benefit not just individual users but also healthcare systems. In this white paper is shown how interoperability is closely related to investment in the future and will be integral to improving both pathologist workflow and the standard of care available for patients today.
