Medical Diagnostics as a Team Effort

The Work of Many Experts

Collaborative Effort

We maintain a library of coded comments for use in building interpretations. Our library is available to participating clinical pathologists and other subject matter experts. Coded comments can be added or modified during individual case interpretations. The new or revised coded comments are reviewed by the appropriate subject matter experts and assigned to our library where they are available to the wider group.

Gaps in the interpretive library are identified and additional coded comments are developed as needed. This collaborative effort leads to a more extensive library continuously reviewed and improved by a team of experts.

Quality and Organization

Our coded comment library is reviewed for content accuracy and clarity. Clear and concise meaning is essential for the final interpretation. While free text or dictation will always be necessary for many case specifics, a large portion of the interpretation can be built using elements shared in other cases.

The library is organized by functional area. Individual comments can be assigned to multiple functional areas and found by tree structure, word search or meta-tag. The organization of the library permits flexible and rapid location of the proper coded comment.

Structured Reports

Pathologists use our coded comments to produce a structured interpretation that outlines the specifics of the case and can include essential elements from the medical record, the details of the most current diagnostic results, and recommended follow-on studies.

The structured interpretations provide the referring clinician with an updated clinical picture and actionable information.

Clear and Concise

Interpretations Reduce Error and Speed Diagnosis

Bridging the Information Gap

Covering a Range of Clinical Pathology Questions

Blood Bank, Coagulation, Cytogenetics, Flow Cytometry, Hematopathology, Hemoglobin Electrophoresis, Immunology, Microbiology, Molecular Diagnostics, Peripheral Smear Interpretation, Proteomics, Tissue Typing (HLA), Toxicology

Inpatient and Outpatient Services

We work with high-security IT platforms and expert pathologists to support hospitals and outpatient clinics alike.

ePath Logic, Inc. (www.epathlogic.com) integrates our coded comments and other tools into their platform and connects with the referring provider’s EHR to retrieve patient data.

The integration with the EHR makes it easy for clinicians to order interpretations and helps ensure that the consulting pathologists have access to clinical details.

Our library of coded comments and other tools make the work of interpreting the cases more efficient, helping provide relevant, accessible, and actionable interpretations to the referring clinician.
