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. Check out how!

If you leave the microscope behind, would you ever go back?

Not many would. In a survey of 52 pathologists, 100% of them said that going digital helps reach diagnostic consensus and that they would never go back to non-digital.1 With our pathology slide scanners, the Image Management System (IMS) and a comprehensive set of software tools and capabilities, you can easily connect with supporting sub-specialists around the world on the quest for quick and confident diagnostic decisions that enhance patient care.
