November 2025—Laboratories considering AI-driven workflows should first identify the specific problem they aim to solve and assess if simpler coding solutions are sufficient. While out-of-the-box AI solutions from vendors offer a lower barrier to entry, laboratories must ensure these solutions align with their workflows and validate them in their own environments.
November 2025—Two new ADLM documents provide guidance on toxicology testing for emergency departments, replacing a 2003 guideline. The documents address test menus, turnaround times, and the importance of educating ED staff on assay limitations.
November 2025—A recent article in Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine emphasizes the importance of gender-inclusive care in cytopathology laboratories. The authors, members of the CAP Cytopathology Committee, identify four key areas for improvement: laboratory information systems and terminology, cervicovaginal Pap test screening, HPV testing, and anal Pap test screening. They advocate for gender-inclusive data entry, understanding changes from hormonal therapy, equitable access to HPV testing, and expanding anal Pap test screening infrastructure.
November 2025—A 24-year-old female with hereditary stomatocytosis presented with a critical potassium concentration of 7.9 mmol/L. Despite ruling out common causes like hemolysis and EDTA contamination, the elevated potassium persisted, leading to a diagnosis of a PIEZ01 mutation causing potassium leakage.
November 2025—Medical shows often inaccurately portray the work of medical laboratory professionals, leading to a lack of public awareness about their importance. While some shows have depicted laboratory medicine accurately, many have misrepresented the field, perpetuating its undervaluation.
November 2025—The Color Atlas of Body Fluids: An Illustrated Field Guide Based on Proficiency Testing, second edition, features over 1,200 photographs, 70 photo galleries, 360 illustrations, and 15 videos. The atlas, which completes the CAP’s Color Atlas series, uses images from CAP’s laboratory proficiency testing, providing authenticity and real-world variability.
November 2025—A roundtable discussion on laboratory information systems (LIS) highlighted the challenges labs face in meeting increasing demands with limited resources. The conversation emphasized the need for improved interoperability, automation, and flexibility in LIS to address complex testing workflows and workforce shortages.
November 2025—CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke on Oct. 1, 2025 with Sarah Stewart of Telcor, which sells laboratory revenue cycle management software and services, and Jeanette Gray and Scott Rupnow of Pathology Associates of San Antonio and Pathology Reference Laboratory.
Bob McGonnagle: Jeanette Gray, tell us about your laboratory.
Jeanette Gray, vice president of revenue and payer relations, Pathology Associates of San Antonio and Pathology Reference Laboratory: We are a physician-owned practice in San Antonio and we operate a laboratory that does primarily anatomic pathology and women’s health testing. We have about 20-plus pathologists on staff. I joined the practice in July. Continue reading …
