Scalable anatomic pathology information system
Progeny AP is designed on LEAN principles to give a powerful,
flexible workflow solution, yet is scalable from small independent
installations to multisite configurations. An easy-to-use, browser-based
case inquiry is available for patient-results query. Patient reports are
defined by the client, and may be distributed via printed copies, fax,
and managed phone calls. Barcode-enabled tracking is available at the
specimen, block, and slide levels, with automated generation of slides
or slide labels upon block scanning.

Anatomic pathology software improves workflow
CoPathPlus anatomic pathology software integrates images,
diagrams, or data from speech-recognition systems, and offers the
ability to customize and share the complex information produced by
anatomic pathology, cytology, and cytogenetics departments. Healthcare
providers can access information from multiple sources — from automatic
faxing to electronic transmission to EMRs. Comprehensive billing
features include professional and technical charge-capture fully
interfaced to billing systems. Tools include data generation for quality
assurance, management, and regulatory reports.

Simplified in situ hybridization solution
With
RISH, rapid in situ hybridization, a chromogenic ISH
technology, the proprietary DNA probe technology ensures high
specificity and accuracy for the mRNA target in a simple two-hour,
five-step procedure. The product has no high temperature denaturation
step or RNase solutions, and labware requirements, overnight
hybridization and stringent wash conditions are eliminated. The result
is clear, with virtually no background. The signal is easily visualized
under brightfield microscopy, along with the tissue morphology on a
single slide. Interpretation is simplified with familiar chromogenic
signal and tissue morphology. Sensitive probes include: Epstein-Barr
encoded RNA (EBER), kappa light chain, lambda light chain, dual
kappa/lambda, IgA-alpha heavy chain, IgG-gamma heavy chain, IgM-mu heavy
chain, and ribosomal RNA (positive control). Additional RISH probes
under development include alpha-fetoprotein, calcitonin,
cytomegalovirus, gastrin, insulin, pancreatic peptide, and more.

Workflow management, tracking, reporting
The
NovoPath Anatomic Pathology (AP) software platform produces
personalized results reporting and helps streamline workflow in a
variety of settings. From multisite, multifacility labs to single-site
labs, the software platform scales to any size. The system is intuitive
is easy to use, has remote connectivity, secure Web reporting, synoptic
reporting, structured data entry, and automated reflex testing. Organ
maps, graphs, and images enhance patient reports. The Windows-based
program acts as a data warehouse for all pathology cases and includes
reporting, image acquisition, label printing, electronic sign off, and
more. The new flow-cytometry module saves as much as 30 minutes on the
typical reporting process. A secondary report-interface module attaches
and integrates supportive information, such as outside consults, image
analysis, and FISH reports, from a wide range of popular lab solutions
to patient files and comprehensive reports, which can be printed and
faxed as well as directly transmitted into an EMR.

Anatomic-pathology consultation services
ARUP’s
Anatomic Pathology division consists of more than 30 expert
pathologists — all are faculty members in the Department of Pathology at
the University of Utah School of Medicine. These pathologists provide a
full range of consultative and diagnostic services, ranging from flow
cytometry and molecular diagnostics to surgical pathology. Expert
consultative services are offered in dermatopathology; head and neck
pathology; hematopathology; neuropathology; renal pathology; hepatic and
gastrointestinal pathology; pediatric and placental pathology; and more.
The AP division maintains current CLIA numbers with the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) and is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
All submissions require a test-request form. Check online for the list
of available tests, specimen requirements, and submission guidelines.

Lab management with open systems integration
PowerPath
provides an intuitive user interface that streamlines workflow and daily
operations for laboratories offering surgical pathology, cytology,
dermatopathology, and autopsy services. A versatile case-centric view
ensures quick access to requisition data, case history, concurrent
cases, and billing information. This solution offers modules for
advanced materials processing (AMP), document management, clinical
pathology management, immunohistochemistry, enhanced outreach reporting,
imaging, digital pathology, dermatopathology, diagnostic reference
systems, and Internet reporting. The AMP materials-tracking solution
drives the workflow of a histology lab by tracking materials through the
lab — from the receipt and processing of tissue specimens, through the
creation and tracking of blocks and slides, to managing specimen
discard. Interface solutions include LIS, HIS, physician office EMR,
stand-alone billing systems, whole-slide imaging systems, slide stainers,
and other applications and devices. Quality-assurance reporting for
cytology meets CLIA ’88 and CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program
guidelines.

Anatomic pathology/cytology information system
WindoPath
is a full-featured, customizable anatomic pathology information system
with a modular, customizable design. This design allows it to quickly
and easily adapt to the specific needs of laboratories of all sizes and
testing capabilities, including hospitals, private pathology groups,
physician office labs, and specialty labs like dermatopathology,
cytology, urology, gastroenterology, endoscopy, and genetic testing,
among others. New features include prostate diagrams; clinical results
blended in the pathology report; reflex testing ordered by physician
preference; CAP synoptic reporting; specimen and procedure tracking;
library cloning; and scheduled printing. The clinical-information module
allows the viewing of all clinical and AP results associated with a
particular case. Other modules include interactive voice, and e-reports
and e-orders for Web-based outreach. The database can easily store any
size image produced by a digital microscope in case history, and quickly
retrieve images that pertain to a subset of cases for use in patient
reports, tumor conferences or as a teaching tool.

Path lab grossing station documents dissections
The
PathStation TS has been designed specifically to meet the
needs of the pathology lab for in-hood documentation of
dissections. The PathStation TS is a complete turnkey system
that includes all the mounting accessories, imaging equipment,
computer controller, and software to provide a smooth,
task-oriented workflow. The system features hands-free zoom,
focus, and image capture with on-screen section lines, block
labels, regions of interest, and even measurements. Now,
documentation of the gross dissection is easy and routine; every
case can be documented from receipt of containers, through
documentation of sample “as received” to full annotation and
autosaving to your OS file server or LIM system.

Track, report AP lab-management test module
A
new FISH Test Module is available for the NovoPath AP lab
workflow management, specimen tracking, and reporting platform. The new
module eliminates both the need to manually score Urovysion FISH results
on paper charts and to scan them in as attachments. With this
application, all results are scored digitally, and data can be fully
integrated into standard urine-cytology test data as well as the
comprehensive patient file for immediate reporting and future reference.
The new application digitally charts FISH results and includes
historical trend graphs, streamlining review by referring physicians.
