Service Model
Every need of the pathology laboratory, in one service model.
We take responsibility at every stage, from infrastructure analysis to digital transformation and from process optimization to full operation.
01.1 · Service areas
Six service areas
Each area can be taken on its own; together they form one service model that covers the entire laboratory.
- 01
Infrastructure analysis and setup
We analyze existing or planned laboratories in terms of physical layout, instrument capacity, specimen flow and quality requirements, and build future-ready infrastructure.
- 02
Process optimization
We redesign the entire pathology process from specimen reception to reporting, removing bottlenecks, shortening turnaround times and standardizing quality.
- 03
Pathology Information System (PIS)
We set up and run systems that manage case handling, workflow tracking, quality and reporting digitally, making the laboratory transparent and auditable.
- 04
Supply chain management
We manage reagents, consumables, instruments and human resources together. By tracking usage, stock and costs, cost per test and per case is improved continuously.
- 05
Digital transformation
With slide scanning, image management, remote reporting and AI-assisted decision systems, we make digital pathology the backbone of the operation.
- 06
Full operation or consulting
End-to-end operation of the pathology laboratory, or transformation and performance consulting. In both models PathEra carries operational responsibility and performance tracking; diagnosis and reporting remain the responsibility of pathologists.
01.2 · Service models
Three scopes to match your needs.
| Scope | Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathology information management and digitization | Included | Included | Included |
| Secure specimen tracking | Included | Included | Included |
| Infrastructure, instrument renewal and maintenance | Included | Included | Included |
| Consumables supply management | Included | Included | Included |
| H&E / Immunohistochemistry / Histochemistry | Not included | Not included | Included |
| Liquid-Based Cytology / HPV Genotyping | Not included | Included | Included |
| FISH / RT-PCR / NGS | Not included | Not included | Included |
Software and hardware investments are included in the service fee; the institution makes no separate upfront investment.
01.3 · Why a service model
The institution focuses on diagnosis; we run the operation.
Lean consumables purchasing
Administrative procedures for ordering and storage are simplified; stock and waste costs decrease.
Specimen security
The security and traceability of valuable specimens is part of the service.
Infrastructure management
Supplying missing equipment and handling maintenance and repairs becomes simpler.
Quality assurance
Quality standards for consumables are maintained and potential issues are managed in advance.
Less administrative load
Laboratory teams focus on diagnosis.
Digital transformation
Pathology information and process management across the institution.
01.4 · Approvals and quality
The approvals we hold, traceable quality.
Approvals
PathIQ — Pathology information management system approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health
Quality and clinical governance
Regulatory compliance
Ensuring compliance with national and international requirements
Quality management
Traceability, audit trail and performance indicators
Clinical governance
Integration of pathology results into clinical processes and critical value reporting
Accreditation support
Documentation and procedure development
01.5 · Infrastructure & supply
Laboratory infrastructure and supply, under one responsibility.
From product supply to stock control and from equipment analysis to physical layout, we manage the laboratory's working conditions together with you.
Consumables management, automatic ordering, instrument maintenance and per-case cost
Product supply and stock management
Supplier and storage responsibility
Product selection, ordering, quality control, stock tracking and storage sit with PathEra; the hospital focuses on use.
Usage-based stock control
Stock is tracked in real time through usage entries by laboratory teams; reorder points are set automatically.
Product evaluation
Feedback on usability, cost and performance ensures quality and economic sustainability.
Infrastructure and equipment
Existing equipment analysis
Instrument lifetime, maintenance status and renewal needs are determined and an action plan is created.
Service-period needs assessment
Instrument needs and renewal plans are supported by real data.
Physical layout
Space is analyzed and the laboratory layout is optimized around the workflow.
