Episode notes
Pathology Leads in Informatics
- Pathology has been a pioneer in using informatics for laboratory systems and data management for decades.
- Informatics empowers pathologists to optimize patient care and laboratory workflows effectively.
Transform Data to Patient Value
- Healthcare has excelled at recording data but less at converting it into actionable value for patients.
- Advances like AI and cloud computing open new opportunities for pathologists to use data to enhance practice.
Master Data Systems for Value
- Understand laboratory information systems (LIS) and electronic health records (EHR) to know how data flows and interfaces.
- Learn to identify opportunities where informatics can improve pathology workflows or clinical practice.
