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.

November 2015—Collaborative prepares pilot on managing genomic data in EHRs: As genetic testing travels the path from rare to routine, it simultaneously provides answers and poses problems. One such problem is rooted in the question, How can electronic health record systems organize and display genomic information in a standardized, interoperable format that best supports clinical decision-making?
October 2015—A decade later, online laboratory handbook gets makeover: Ten years ago, when Massachusetts General Hospital created an online laboratory handbook, the event crowned many hours of programming and coding by a team of pathologists, who were convinced their labors would dramatically streamline access to information.
September 2015—How site visits led to an LIS selection at Stanford: Seven gets all the attention, but five turned out to be the lucky number for a Stanford University Medical Center team charged with selecting a new laboratory information system. Visiting five installation sites in five cities in five days was “probably the most important aspect of the whole process,” says Brent Tan, MD, PhD, director of clinical laboratory informatics at Stanford.
August 2015—How one pathologist made use of artificial intelligence: Like many pathologists, Jay J. Ye, MD, PhD, longed to spend less time preparing reports and more time interpreting slides and rendering diagnoses. Rather than dedicating half of his workday to what he considers secretarial tasks, the dermatopathologist wanted to devote the lion’s share of his hours in the lab toward applying the knowledge and skills he developed during his years of medical training and practice.
July 2015—Why Sonora Quest gave itself high marks for LIS conversion; Pathologists share homegrown software for infant autopsies; CMS promotes innovation by offering data to private sector; Agilent purchases Cartagenia; Database provides information from next-gen sequencing
June 2015—Consortium gaining ground in quest for interoperability; Xifin purchases VisualShare; CDC releases update on electronic lab result reporting to public health agencies; Enzo Life Sciences releases ELISA plate reader app; Orchard Software features white papers on website; Imprivata expands reach with acquisition of HT Systems; Sampleminded teams up with Exact Sciences
May 2015—A lab IT strategic plan: from guidance to lessons learned: For those with even the slightest bit of health care business acumen, it should come as no surprise that when health systems expand quickly through mergers and acquisitions, hospital labs often struggle to communicate and cooperate with their counterparts at far-flung sister sites. Faced with such a challenge, the lab at the rapidly growing Geisinger Health System embraced a solution.
April 2015—How a best practice alert cut unneeded transfusions: Embedding a decision support tool in an EMR to nudge physicians toward an evidence-based practice—without ruffling feathers—can be a delicate process. But two physicians at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center did just that when they launched a best practice alert that encourages adherence to new guidelines for ordering blood.
March 2015—CMS to alter reporting period for meaningful use: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced that it intends to engage in rulemaking to shorten the reporting period for stage two meaningful use attestation this year from 365 to 90 days under the EHR incentive programs.
February 2015—Simplifying the search for units of uncommon blood: For blood banks, obtaining red blood cell units with uncommon blood types can be a time-consuming and daunting task in which delays can hinder patient care. So two blood bank professionals, frustrated by the challenge, set out to change that. The American Rare Donor Program fields requests for rare blood types, which are blood types found in fewer than one in 1,000 donors, but it is “not set up to serve those requesting uncommon units—defined as blood with combinations of antigens that occur in fewer than one in 100 people,” says Connie Westhoff, PhD, director of immunohematology and genomics at New York Blood Center.
