Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Pathology Informatics and Laboratory Data Systems

Modern pathology is heavily reliant on informatics for data integration, management, and decision-making. This session explores the growing importance of laboratory information systems (LIS), digital workflows, and big data analytics in pathology. Attendees will learn how informatics solutions are used to streamline specimen tracking, automate test reporting, and facilitate interdepartmental communication. Presentations will highlight how electronic medical records (EMR) integration, barcoding technologies, and cloud-based platforms are enhancing efficiency and reducing human error. The session will also examine the role of artificial intelligence in predictive diagnostics, quality assurance, and test utilization management. Special focus will be given to data privacy, cybersecurity in health systems, and regulatory compliance. Case studies will illustrate the implementation of informatics-driven innovations that enhance laboratory performance and patient outcomes. This session is designed for pathologists, laboratory directors, IT specialists, and data analysts who are shaping the future of digital pathology and laboratory operations through intelligent and secure data infrastructure.
