Digital Pathology

Moving to digital pathology in three layers with PathIQ.

Digital pathology is now a requirement. The components required by the Ministry of Health Digital Pathology Directive come together on a single backbone in PathIQ.

PathIQPathology software

Smarter pathology workflows.

PathIQ is the platform that manages the entire pathology process from specimen reception to archive. A Ministry of Health approved pathology information management system, PathIQ is developed by IVDIQ, the group's technology company; PathEra implements and operates it.

03.1 · Components

The components the directive requires, on one backbone.

  • PIS process backbone

    Barcoded case and material tracking

  • Digital scanning and imaging

    Vendor-neutral scanner integration

  • Telepathology

    Secure consultation between specialists

  • Image analysis — decision support

    Ki-67 · ER/PR · HER2 · PD-L1

  • HIS and instrument integration

    Orders, cassette/slide printers, staining

  • Data security and archive

    Role-based access, audit trail

Image analysis is decision support only; diagnosis and reporting remain the responsibility of the pathologist.

03.2 · Layers

Three layers, each built on the previous one

  1. Pathology information management system

    From barcoded specimen tracking to fully integrated processes; the foundation layer for patient safety, reporting and clinical quality.

  2. Digitization

    Digital slides and image management; the process becomes visible and shareable.

  3. Decision support

    Measurable outputs that support clinical decisions through image analysis and AI applications.

03.3 · Process

Workflow

  1. Specimen collection and barcoding
  2. Laboratory reception
  3. Grossing (cassette printer integration)
  4. Tissue processing
  5. Embedding and sectioning (slide printer integration)
  6. Staining and IHC/HC (instrument integration)
  7. Microscopy
  8. Reporting
  9. Physical archive

Instrument integrations at critical points reduce the risk of manual error.
