Pathologists, vendors talk LIS-IMS integration
February 2026—Cybersecurity and image management are key concerns for laboratories adopting digital pathology and AI. While cloud-based systems offer enhanced security and scalability, onboarding new vendors and instruments remains challenging due to stringent security requirements and potential vulnerabilities.
Developing novel assays for disease states
February 2026—This is the fourth in a series of one-on-one virtual roundtables in which CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle speaks with representatives of a company to spotlight its laboratory solutions. He spoke on Dec. 2, 2025 with Steve Swartzell and Scott Johnston of ELITechGroup.
Direct oral anticoagulants—new guidance, lab testing
January 2026—The Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine released new guidance discouraging clot-based testing in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
Resources, interfaces—LIS vendors and lab experts talk
November 2025—A roundtable discussion on laboratory information systems (LIS) highlighted the challenges labs face in meeting increasing demands with limited resources. The conversation emphasized the need for improved interoperability, automation, and flexibility in LIS to address complex testing workflows and workforce shortages.
Payers, policies, and claims processing
November 2025—Pathology Associates of San Antonio and Pathology Reference Laboratory (PRL) implemented Telcor’s revenue cycle management software to improve billing and collections. The No Surprises Act requires facilities to provide good-faith estimates of potential out-of-pocket costs, which PRL calculates based on average billed charges for specific procedures.
How far? How much? What labs say about digital path
