PathEra at the 35th National Pathology Congress
At our booth we showed how we design, set up, operate and improve pathology laboratories, and how PathIQ, approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health, supports a phased move to digital pathology.
Outsourced services are now common in biochemistry, microbiology and genetics; pathology is next. We presented PathEra's four-step service model: physical space and workflow design; installation of instruments, consumables and software with full integration; daily operations from accessioning to archive; and data-driven measurement with phased digital pathology.
We explained the single-contract, single-point-of-contact model with SUT point-based payment, and our experience at Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura and Bursa city hospitals, 4,200 slides a day combined. With visitors we discussed PathIQ's barcoded case tracking, vendor-neutral scanner integration, telepathology and image analysis for decision support.
Diagnosis and reporting remain with pathologists; we are responsible for a reliable, efficient workflow. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth.
