October 2021—Given Penn Medicine’s reputation for high operational standards, it’s not surprising that the developers of its new Center for Applied Health Informatics set lofty goals for the center: coordinate the efforts of multiple internal technology-related groups to further improve systems institutionwide and position the health system as a global leader in health informatics.
September 2021—When Stephen Hewitt, MD, PhD, went down the COVID-19 rabbit hole in early 2020, little did he know about the long-term value of a comprehensive COVID-19 digital pathology repository—and how such a project would come to fill his days and, occasionally, nights.
August 2021—The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology released last month the United States Core Data for Interoperability version two, or USCDI v2, a standardized set of health data classes and constituent data elements for nationwide, interoperable health information exchange.
July 2021—As the role of informatics in the practice of medicine continues to grow, so does the need to move formalized informatics education from the category of luxury to necessity, says Bruce Levy, MD, associate chief medical informatics officer at Geisinger Health System, Danville, Pa., and professor and program director of the clinical informatics fellowship at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine.
June 2021—ROI is the holy grail of pathology laboratories purchasing laboratory information systems and analyzers. The abbreviation stands for “return on investment,” but it should also mean “rarely obtained information,” jokes health care consultant Dennis Winsten.
May 2021–Laboratory information systems contain a wealth of diagnostic patient case data, but accessing it promptly can be difficult if not impossible—without a workaround, that is.
April 2021—The rewards of data analytics can be sizable, but so can the challenges of extracting data, transforming it, and loading it into the appropriate systems to facilitate the functionality.
March 2021—For many pathologists, smartphones are an untapped resource. Although the screen is significantly smaller than a computer display, the device offers much of the same functionality to enhance the practice of pathology as its larger cousin but with the benefit of pocket portability.
Feburary 2021—Laboratories involved in requests for proposal for total lab automation systems may want to consider the words of wisdom of Francis of Assisi: “For it is in giving that we receive.”
January 2021—It’s a maxim for any laboratory automation project: Don’t automate until you analyze—the efficiency of current processes, that is. And ARUP Laboratories’ chief operating officer, Jonathan Genzen, MD, PhD, has taken it to heart as the laboratory gears up for large-scale automation projects this year.
