Watch the Webinar- October 26, 2021: Digital Pathology Part 2

Sponsored by PNPL

Digital Pathology Part 2

The novel technologies supporting digital pathology systems are increasing in number and capabilities. Use of digital pathology systems including machine learning/artificial intelligent clinical decision support tools will change current pathology workflows. This presentation will cover the implications in the laboratory and pathology workflows as well as discuss basics of machine learning related to pathology.

  • How digital pathology can and will change the pathology laboratory
  • Image analysis and its application in digital pathology
  • The role of digital pathology in machine learning
  • AI use cases in pathology

Also, 88361 is one of the few digital pathology-only CPT codes that would add benefit for automated computer quantification of certain immunohistochemistry. The CPT code is well established, and many labs use it currently.

“The PNPL library contents and access to the PNPL membership have been invaluable resources as we navigate challenges around topics such as recruiting, hospital contract negotiations, insurer contracting as it relates to professional charges on clinical pathology work, and the implementation of digital pathology.”

Slide 3

“After Joining PNPL, our pathology group in Arizona (one of the largest in the nation) found expert advice on billing, coding and digital pathology, as well as suggestions and support for our negotiations with United Healthcare. The PNPL team is full of experts in the pathology space who are sharing best practices, tools and templates that allow for knowledge in the industry. I highly recommend joining this think tank and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

Smart Slider 3 is the best slider that i’ve tried so far. There’s so many useful functions and easy to understand how to use it.

“I value the access and information exchange with highly experienced and successful professionals in the pathology space.”

“Membership in PNPL offers IU the ability to see the pathology field as a whole, rather than looking solely through the academic lens. The interaction with PNPL’s private practice groups allows me to understand their ‘pain points.’ Since our academic group includes community practices at the outlying hospitals, we too are feeling some of the same pain. Access to benchmarks from both academic and private practices has also been invaluable as I address issues on the academic side.”
