Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

May 2018—Vendor neutral archives: A fit for the pathology lab? Whether the initialism VNA will become as recognizable as the acronym PACS in the pathology field remains to be seen, but pathologists and vendors alike are considering how vendor neutral archives may benefit the pathology lab.
April 2018—Data-extraction system demonstrates potential for pathology laboratories: Just as parents instill in their children a desire to improve themselves, in part through interactions with others, some software developers are “teaching” their tools to interact and adjust accordingly.
March 2018—How hospitals use savvy and software as a phishing net: We all know we shouldn’t click on suspicious emails, but suppose you see an email from your department of human resources with an attached document about a new dress code. You open it, thinking “What new dress code?” And now you’ve infected the hospital’s computer system with a virus.
February 2018—The many facets of a laboratory IT budget: Creating an information technology budget for the laboratory may seem like a fairly straightforward, if painstaking, exercise. But a number of factors that can affect the laboratory’s bottom line are frequently overlooked during the budgeting process, according to two health care consultants who spoke with cap today.
January 2018—Why pathologists shouldn’t ‘pass the baton’ with IT: It may be tempting to stay in your comfort zone and leave the technology decisions to the information technology experts. But pathologists who abdicate oversight of IT projects within their departments are setting up those projects for failure, says John H. Sinard, MD, PhD, professor of pathology and medical director of pathology informatics at Yale University School of Medicine.
December 2017—Hospital cyberattack a brief setback with lasting gain: A cyberattack that paralyzed the computer systems at a rural West Virginia hospital last summer could have brought the laboratory’s work to a screeching halt. But that didn’t happen, thanks, in part, to the downtime procedures in place throughout the laboratory and the low-tech nature of the lab’s pathology operations.
November 2017—Software-validation products: finding a glitch before it’s a hitch: The idiom “time is of the essence” isn’t lost on Lisa Adams, senior information technology systems analyst at Banner Health and a believer in the need for speed when identifying software glitches and errors.
October 2017—Clinical analytics: from benefits attained to software available: While LIS and laboratory billing software vendors tout the power of their business analytics tools to boost the laboratory’s bottom line, a newer application of information technology—clinical analytics—is elevating the role of the laboratory in personalized medicine.
September 2017—Why so few women in pathology informatics? Alexis Carter, MD, did not realize she was a rare bird when, as a resident more than a decade ago, she acted on her penchant for health informatics. Dr. Carter had become interested in the field while working under a clinical chemist who developed computer programs that notified him when instruments weren’t performing as expected or when a lab result required further investigation.
August 2017—Health record security at root of personal grid architecture: Imagine the risks credit reporting agencies would face if they did not maintain databases of consumer transactions but instead requested information from various creditors and assembled credit reports from that information in real time. Yet that’s how health information exchanges typically work. And that, says William Yasnoff, MD, PhD, a consultant, physician, and computer scientist, is not a safe or effective approach.
