February 2025—When NYU Langone Health began focusing on digital pathology last year, it also began focusing on people—those it would need to keep such a program humming along. “When we were setting up this operation, it was pretty obvious to me that I wanted to have a dedicated team of people that are going to focus just on digital pathology,” says Rui Soares, anatomic pathology operations director at NYU Langone, a multisite system with approximately 80 pathologists at four hospitals. It would be “unfair,” he adds, to expect laboratory assistants to learn and perform such specialized tasks while performing other duties.

January 2025—NYU Langone Health, a New York-based multisite system with six inpatient facilities, is implementing digital pathology—some would say lightning quick considering its size. Having started the project in mid-October with six subspecialties, pathology services expects to fully implement the digital distribution of images systemwide by this spring. “What we’ve seen at other systems is a very slow transition that sometimes never gets accomplished to 100 percent,” says Joan Cangiarella, MD, vice chair of clinical operations, Department of Pathology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine. “Here we presented it as, ‘We are all going to go digital.’”

December 2024—In a casual water cooler conversation, while standing around a coagulation analyzer to be precise, Lisa Daniel listened to her laboratory colleagues and a hospitalist, who happened to stop by the department, discuss their frustration with duplicate and other unnecessary tests. This led her to start a small committee, which in eight years has sextupled in size and undertaken numerous cost-saving measures.

November 2024—A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a conventional two-dimensional photograph of a surgical specimen can convey only so much information to a pathologist or surgeon. Overall geometry and margin status are difficult to interpret from static, single-perspective images.

October 2024—Conducting informal pathology clinics in his office to help patients better understand their diagnosis has been standard fare for John Groth, MD. But this will change in the coming months as he finishes setting up a formal clinic, replete with the technology and tools necessary to more easily educate patients at Endeavor Health’s Evanston Hospital.

September 2024—The ARUP Institute for Research and Innovation in Diagnostic and Precision Medicine has created the Sherrie Perkins Research and Innovation Collaboration grant to fund lab medicine research that has the potential to significantly improve patient care.

August 2024—Aravindhan Sriharan, MD, is a supporter of digital pathology, but when it comes to assessing images, he prefers the feel and speed of a microscope. And his conversations with colleagues indicate many of them do too. “If I’m scrolling around a digital image, I can’t get the kind of speed, accuracy, and dexterity that I can on a physical microscope,” says Dr. Sriharan, dermatopathologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine.

July 2024—Earlier this summer, Danbury Hospital completed its first academic year using an integrated pathology informatics curriculum that introduced informatics exercises into seven of the pathology residency program’s 18 rotations. “The goal is for residents to learn informatics alongside the pathology workflows where they can apply it,” says Samuel Barasch, MD, medical director of cytopathology at the Danbury, Conn.-based hospital, part of the Nuvance Health Network.

June 2024—Fairness, like so many principles, is subjective. Yet that is not deterring a growing number of medical informaticists and others interested in health care technology from advocating to incorporate fairness into machine learning algorithms to combat bias.

May 2024—The FDA has granted marketing authorization, through the de novo pathway, for Prenosis’ Sepsis ImmunoScore artificial intelligence-enabled software as a medical device, or SaMD, for the rapid diagnosis and prediction of sepsis.
