Virtual networks also enable pathology departments to moderate the impact of increased caseloads as a result of the pandemic by enabling efficient diagnoses and facilitating speedier transfer of complex cases for second opinions. Connections to other teams also provide the opportunity for pathologists to collaborate with multiple professionals, helping to improve knowledge transfer and learning opportunities.
Enabling AI in pathology for deeper insights
Digital pathology also opens the door for artificial intelligence (AI) and automated tools for reading slides to help empower clinicians to deliver clear care pathways with predictable outcomes for every patient.

AI-powered workflows have the potential to provide a continuous pathway, where critical patient data is made visible to both pathologists and oncologists more rapidly, helping improve the clinician experience and enhance patient care. This will be particularly important in the years ahead, as the industry balances workforce shortages with the need to meet the increasing demand for pathology services and the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
The key to a new model of diagnostic precision is bringing together multiple diagnostic insights within the healthcare continuum — like radiology, pathology and genomics — at critical states along a patient’s journey. By providing pathologists with the interoperability and connectivity to share high-quality images, utilize new technologies enabled by digitization (such as AI), and expand diagnostic insights across networks, they will become key stakeholders in the data-driven healthcare systems of the future.
