In this webinar, Dr. Teemu Tolonen discusses the experience of going fully digital in a multicenter pathology environment, including workflow changes, College of American Pathologists (CAP) validation and considerations around the quality of highly compressed images.
At-a-glance:
- In 2020, Fimlab was part of the largest digital pathology tender in Finland, with the goal of accessing a ready-to-use pathology solution to accommodate 700,000 slides each year.
- Fimlab sought a solution that was already in use at several large pathology laboratories that perform close to 100% digital diagnostics, and chose the Philips Digital Pathology Solution.
- Digitization by Philips was the essential step needed for computational pathology, which helped improve pathology quality and compensated for the shortage of pathologists.
Finland has pioneered digital pathology for over 15 years, and it overcame many barriers, they reveal in this article their initial experiences of going ~ 100% digital in a multicenter environment.
