This course discusses the necessity of teamwork between pathologists and radiologists in advancing integrated diagnostics, in which all laboratory and radiologic information is aggregated and analyzed to arrive at a final diagnosis quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively. The course will cover the development of specialized servers and the creation of virtual departments of pathology/radiology diagnostics. Participants will learn how algorithms, heuristics, and business rules developed and tested by pathologists and radiologists can help determine the most efficient path to diagnosis. The course will explain the development and updating of a system that can deliver reports directly to clinicians, indicate the appropriate next orders, and consolidate test-ordering cycles, creating a new care model.
