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.

January 2015—Desire to stem lab test overuse leads to free software: For Zia Uddin, PhD, enough was enough. After reading time and again about the proliferation of redundant and otherwise medically unnecessary laboratory testing in the U.S. health care system, the clinical chemist and computer scientist decided to take matters into his own hands—quite literally.
December 2014—Why lab report formatting remains a work in progress: As a guiding principle, “form follows function” may be as appropriate for pathology reports as it was for 20th century architecture and industrial design. So, if the primary function of a lab report is to communicate diagnostic information, it should be designed and formatted to make it easy for the reader to assimilate data that will impact patient care. But achieving this result may require due diligence, say two pathologists who have embraced the cause of better-looking, more effective reports.
November 2014—Software expands on ‘what you see is what you get’; ONC unveils tool for sharing health information with patients; Portal gives patients direct access to lab test results; Xifin partners with SyTrue; GenoSpace awarded grant for developing biorepositories; NovoPath interfaces to Athenahealth EHR
October 2014—A conundrum: teaching pathology informatics to residents: Just as high schoolers are prone to protest, “We’re never going to need to use quadratic equations/literary theory/the periodic table in real life,” pathology residents have been known to question the value of subjects for which they don’t envision a practical application—such as pathology informatics.
September 2014—Why LIS limitations shouldn’t inhibit genomic testing: Many community-based hospitals don’t have the resources to perform complex genomic testing, but they shouldn’t let that deter them. By being creative in overcoming the limitations of their lab information systems, pathology departments can ensure that clinicians and their patients benefit from the latest advances in next-generation sequencing, says Lynn Bry, MD, PhD.
August 2014—Smartphone use in AP ‘immature’ but advancing: It may never be as famous as Snapchat or Instagram, but another method of photo sharing is gaining favor with some anatomic pathologists by allowing them to use their smartphones to send images from glass slides quickly and inexpensively. “The use of smartphones is still at an immature stage for pathology, but I think the emerging area is utilizing the camera functions in the phones to manage decisionmaking,” says Douglas J. Hartman, MD, assistant professor, Department of Anatomic Pathology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
July 2014—The benefits of building versus buying lab software: Like many in the field of pathology informatics, John Sinard, MD, PhD, does not believe that one-size-fits-all when it comes to laboratory software systems. But unlike many of his peers, he does not choose to live with the discrepancies or purchase a new product.
June 2014—Making the most of big data no easy task: A trillion base pairs of sequence here, a trillion there. Pretty soon, you’re talking about a lot of information—and it all needs to be managed. That’s the dilemma facing Mayo Clinic and other health care organizations leading the personalized medicine revolution that relies on compiling and analyzing patients’ genetic code to better diagnose, predict, and treat disease.
May 2014—How to avoid becoming a ‘legacy system junkyard: The constant churn of information technology applications is creating new security and financial risks that health care organizations—including laboratories—must systematically address, IT experts say.
April 2014—CommonWell executing pilot phase of interoperability project: Competition is considered a positive force in business, but when patients are the consumers, cooperation sometimes trumps competition. For the founding members of the CommonWell Health Alliance, all major players in the competitive arena of health information technology, enabling clients to share patient data across disparate care settings and competing electronic health record systems is viewed as a common-sense move that boosts cost-effectiveness and benefits patients.
