Our guest this week is Dr. Mark Tuthill, head of Pathology informatics at Henry Ford Health System. Dr. Tuthill is member of the CAP-Education committee, the ASCP Informatics Council and the API leadership council.
He has extensive experience in: anatomic and clinical pathology laboratory information systems, digital imaging systems for pathology practice, computer networking, mobile computing networks, and computer-based education.
We’re going to be talking about informatics – what exactly is informatics and what does it mean in the context of digital pathology? How will digital pathology systems be integrated with laboratory information systems and how does this differ from the analog model?
What will workflows look like in digital pathology? What are the complexities? What are the dangers? and what are we most likely not thinking about? And of course, what are the barriers we face in making this all work?
