This episode of Digital Pathology Today™ our guest is Hannah Gilmore , MD - Chief, Division of Anatomic Pathology University Hospitals Case Medical Center
In addition to interpreting patient biopsies and signing out cases, pathologists perform a wide variety of functions - including intraoperative consultation or frozen section, presenting cases at tumor boards or other conferences, doing procedures, or assessing the adequacy from image guided biopsies. This is done in a wide variety of practice settings. Many times, it's done over a very large geographical area where the physical presence of a pathologist may be impractical or highly inconvenient.
We’re talking about the unique challenges and pain points pathologists face in the large hospital system covering a large geography. How can digital pathology help alleviate some of these challenges? What are specific applications that, if implemented, would give us immediate benefit? How can digital pathology make pathologists more productive - particularly in areas not strictly related to primary diagnostic activity?
